2017

The European Enterprise Promotion Awards (EEPA) 2017 have come to an end, but what a journey it has been! From the opening of national competitions in early 2017, the announcement of all national winners, the long awaited publication of the shortlist and now finally the winner’s ceremony we have witnessed all of the hard work and dedication that goes into the outstanding projects submitted each year.

The only word that comes in my mouth is impressed!
I wish all our Swedish politicians have been there and taken part in this overall unity and creativity about how we will create growth in Europe.
And not any growth, a sustainable growth, we invest in women with companies and let SMEs know that they may not be big by themselves, but together they are the majority and without them Sweden stays.. and Europe. Many thanks to all who arranged this and showed the best hostility!
