A program like no other
Entrepreneurs from around the world are nominated to join an ecosystem of prestigious business leaders through a framework of invaluable resources and connections. CEOs, founders, owners and leaders participating in a yearlong EY Entrepreneur Of The Year program benefit from:
- A global network of distinguished peers and mentors
- Learning resources and insights to help navigate their growth journey
- Opportunities to raise the profile of their companies
Representing the best of entrepreneurship
Starting at the regional and country level, EY Entrepreneur Of The Year honors leaders who demonstrate excellence in areas such as innovation, financial performance, social responsibility, and personal commitment to their businesses and communities.
Each annual program concludes with a competition and announcement of category winners — such as industry and innovation winners — and an overall winner. Winners are selected by an independent panel of judges who are successful, innovative entrepreneurs themselves.
Overall program winners go on to represent their country or territory in the ultimate global competition for entrepreneurs: EY World Entrepreneur Of The Year™.
