Nominations for the 2015 EY Entrepreneur Of The Year™ (EOY) programme have officially opened to entrepreneurs across Munster, as EY launched their nationwide search for Ireland’s leading entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurial talent from across the province attended the launch event at the Clarion Hotel in Lapp’s Quay, Cork on Friday last, 6 February, to hear from previous EOY finalists on strategic growth, market differentiation and customer knowledge.

Known globally as the most prestigious business accolade for entrepreneurs, the programme has evolved over the past 17 years into a 9-month development programme for the best entrepreneurs across the island of Ireland. Open to high-performing entrepreneurs from every sector, the programme accepts submissions from entrepreneurs of different growth stages as well as nominations from the general public.

As part of the programme, this year’s 24 finalists will join a group of 120 entrepreneurs, all previous finalists and winners of EY Entrepreneur Of The Year™, for a week-long CEO retreat to Germany. The intensive week will include an executive education series as well as workshops with the CEOs at the helm of Germany’s most successful start-ups and globally renowned indigenous companies.

The awards programme is divided into three categories - Emerging, Industry and International - with 8 finalists chosen per category. The 24 finalists will be selected by the independent panel of judges made up of former EOY winners.

Individuals who wish to put themselves forward or nominate an entrepreneur with their consent, can fill out the online nomination form at www.eoy.ie or call 01 221 2250. The deadline for nominations is Friday, 20 March 2015.
