Recognizing and Celebrating Successful Growth Entrepreneurs
The Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Awards recognize and celebrate successful growth entrepreneurs. Through the selection process and a formal event for recognizing the winning entrepreneurs, this program builds positive awareness towards entrepreneurship. The Center for Entrepreneurship has been the lead sponsor and has assisted Ernst & Young in delivering and judging this program. We nominate entrepreneurs from all over to participate in this awards program. This is an extremely important program as it recognizes and celebrates role models of entrepreneurs who have overcome adversity to build successful companies. Holding up role models for others to emulate is a proven way to accelerate entrepreneurship in a region.
