Testimonials

“Networking at the EBAs was very interesting. We met a lot of important business people and executives, from which we were able to exchange details and have already cooperated with one of them.”

“Being named National Winner was a proud achievement for all of our offices across the world. It heightened our brand awareness and many clients recognized the result of our hard work and dedication. We are honored to have been selected and would like to sincerely thank everyone involved at the European Business Awards.  ”

“The EBAs are really, really important because it's not an industry awards, it's not in the payment sector. It's really cross-border and sector so it’s much wider. So the quality of candidates that you are up against and the nominees you are against is massive, you suddenly realize how intelligent and smart they are.”

“It really is a great arena to showcase how many great, innovative and fantastic companies there are out there. So I think it's really unique and valuable platform.”

“I think this is this is really powerful for us just because of the great businesses we saw in that room today.”

“It's fantastic to see the genuine companies that are here. And you know what they've been through to come to be so successful and to share the limelight with them for these two days, it's been brilliant.”

“It is a really truly a wow moment. It's not every day that we get recognized for what we do but it's really truly an honor to be here tonight”

“It was a very difficult process I have to say. I think the one comment we both had afterwards is that it was amazing how much knowledge the judges actually had about our industry. It was actually energizing and engaging to get the opportunity to speak about your company to people. We've had the most fun. This is probably our best working day ever together! Let's come back next year and do it all again.”

“For us this is a huge honor. We really feel privileged. We would like to say thank you to the coordinators, thank you to the sponsors and thank you to all the participants. I've seen so many success stories and we're really motivated and inspired by everything that you've done.”

“What the Judges say about 2018 contestants ”

“Everyone here tonight is a winner. They are all doing stuff that many people dream of and they are out there realising their dreams. Those people who are going to get awards tonight are at the very top of the pillar.”

“This event inspires and stimulates European Business to reaching exacting criteria, where not only annual turnover and sales count, but also factors with high social importance – what we call business ethics.”

“Judging the European Business Awards is a unique opportunity. To hear the extraordinary success stories, innovative ideas and to see the people and witness the passion they have for their businesses is truly a privilege. It’s an investment in myself. ”

“Now, in times of tightening trade relations outside of the EU and looming trade wars, we should more than ever do our best to help companies to succeed and promote innovative and ethical businesses in Europe. Therefore, I will be happy to promote European Business Awards and encourage more Czech companies to take part in any prestigious competitions that will help them gain a wider recognition outside of the country. I am confident that there are many Czech companies which are highly innovative and able to compete with the best of Europe. ”

“In my view, the EBA contributes to drive innovation, share experiences and drive progress for better European business. It contributes to setting new standards and is evolving to become a benchmark for the best of European business”

“I have been taking part in EBA judging session for few years and it is always a great business and personal experience. What is so fantastic about that is meeting successful and passionate people. Along with fellowship of other international judges we see how entrepreneurs change ideas and motivation into performance. It always gives me new, true and valuable lessons about business. And it is fun. I would recommend this experience to every entrepreneur.”

“It’s been a privilege participating as a judge for the EBA. Its given me great insight into some amazing businesses and the way in which they are competing in their industry. I’ve met many interesting people and definitely got more from the process than I put in”

“This is a great opportunity for us to demonstrate how well our business is growing. It is our chance to show the market what we are doing for our employees and how much we value them”

“It's actually one of the most prestigious awards that a company can get in Europe and worldwide. So European Business Awards are a well-known business reward organization. So it's going to be a big, big thing for us. ”

“The European Business Awards has really helped to grow our confidence, it gave us the green light to go back to our company, and our management and staff and say we are doing something really right here. ”

“It is an honour for us to have been recognised by Europe’s Leading Business Awards programme as one of the top 110 businesses in Europe.”

“We are very pleased with this independent recognition of our ec-H2O technology. It strengthens our belief that developing more environmental cleaning solutions is the right way to go for Tennant Company, also - and perhaps especially - in these challenging economic times.”

“We cannot get out of this crisis without businesses, that’s why I very much welcome the European Business Awards because it puts these businesses in the picture”

“The Awards have brought us excellent publicity and generated some really interesting business opportunities. It was a great decision to participate.”

“...To us, our employees are everything... they are the business. We are always looking into ways to give back and thank them for their input. When we set up ROFF in 1996, we never expected to win any awards and it is a huge honour to be recognised for our activities.”

“We have had great feedback from friends and partners in the business. Winning the Awards brought a lot of attention from other European players in our business, but most importantly it has made our employees very happy and proud.”

“We are very proud that you have recognised the excellence of the Slovenian companies also on a European level, which will further enhance their visibility and give them even more credit to perform on the European market and also outside. We believe that the aims and the purpose of the “European Business Awards” to create a stronger, more successful and ethical business community are similar to ours. Ministry of the Economic Development and Technology, among others, supports the development and increasing competitiveness of our companies. With the support of innovations, creativity and digitalisation we would like to prepare our economy to a new era. ”

““It's a great thing because the number of companies that are competing and I think we put in a huge amount of effort into the video but just to get that recognition and that level of support from people who've effectively voted for us is fantastic. I think to win the public vote is always a great thing. It's been a huge thing for our business over the last twelve months since we won last year. I think for our credentials and also the involvement with the whole awards process. It's been fantastic.” ”

“The EBAs promote success, innovation and ethics in the European business community. They are the most important Award in European Business.”

“Because the EBA is a prestigious award, with more than 150,000 companies participating in 2019, even getting on the “Ones to Watch” list is a success by itself. ”

“I would recommend anyone to enter as a way of analysing their own business performance, strengths and weaknesses. The entry process itself is useful. ”

“The audience was diverse and represented different industries at a good level of management, we would recommend to enter the awards for brand awareness. ”

“In this difficult time for EU, the ceremony and having all these countries celebrating entrepreneurship and innovation is strengthening European identity and collaboration.”

“The EBA is a perfect opportunity to match company practice to the peers from the whole Europe and to increase the company’s reputation.  An opportunity worth taking advantage of. ”

“The most valuable process for us was the judging, the judges are really high caliber people with international experience, so it was great to have that interaction. ”
