EEPA 2018 Compendium

November

2018

The 12^th edition of the European Enterprise Promotion Awards (EEPA) celebrated 6 individual category winners, 1 Grand Jury Prize winner and 4 Special Mentions. All of these highly deserving projects are now available for you to read about in the 2018 EEPA Compendium in English available here.

The EEPA compendium

Every year, the EEPA compendium is produced to celebrate the achievements of the shortlisted projects on European level. The compendium provides an insight into the Awards process including: what is means to become an EEPA winner, the Jury, the judging process and how the EEPA are promoted.

As well as an insight into the process, the compendium is a chance for each of the six category winners, and respective runners up, to be showcased and put in the spotlight. It also provides additional and more extensive coverage of the Grand Jury Prize winner, in accordance with the accolade that this award represents.

In addition to all EEPA results and information, the compendium also contains a foreword from the European Commissioner for Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs, Elżbieta Bieńkowska, in which she details her commitment to European SMEs and her opinions on the latest EEPA edition. This is followed by a section on the status of SMEs in Europe, including an introduction to the Small Business Act for Europe and the role of the national SME Envoys.

To find out more about the EEPA, visit the EEPA website, and look through the previous compendiums from 2017 , 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, and 2012.
