About EY Entrepreneur of the Year
EY started the EY Entrepreneur of the Year in the U.S. as early as 1986. In Sweden, the prize began to be awarded in 1995 under the name “Årets Entrepreneur” (Swedish for Entrepreneur of the Year). Since 2001, the award has been called the EY Entrepreneur of the Year and is awarded regionally, nationally and internationally. During the year, EY had the privilege of meeting and working with the world’s most successful entrepreneurs. This has led to a deep insight into this dynamic group, which, regardless of industry and background, is characterised by similar behaviour patterns and mindsets.
