Promoting entrepreneurship as a viable and attractive career path among young people was a recurring theme in many of the entries received this year for the European Enterprise Promotion Awards (EEPA). The European Commission announced on the 25 June 2014 that this year there were applications from a record number of countries from across Europe: a total of 31 countries submitted entries, including all 28 EU Member States, as well as Iceland, Serbia and Turkey. The Awards showcase the most successful promoters of enterprise and entrepreneurship around Europe. They celebrate the best entrepreneurship policies and practices, create a greater awareness of the role entrepreneurs play in society and encourage and inspire budding entrepreneurs from across Europe. National competition winners will now go forward to compete in the pan-European Awards. Once the Jury has reviewed the entries this summer, they will announce a shortlist of the top entrants in each category who will compete in the European competition. The six category winners, including one overall Grand Jury Prize winner, will be announced at the European Enterprise Promotion Awards Ceremony in October. |
