Eurowards launches 2002 competition
Eurowards, the European Awards for the Spirit of Enterprise, has launched its entrepreneur competition for 2002. The awards, organised by the Spirit of Enterprise group, are held in more than 25 European countries. The competition is open to companies in all sectors and covers four categories: encouragement, seed, start-up and expansion. Frédéric Béguin, President of the Spirit of Enterprise group, said: 'It is not only the best opportunity to test your business plan against competition from all across Europe but also the easiest way to get venture funding, since the competition is linked with venture capital funds who will invest in companies with European ambitions.' The European selection committee and awards ceremony will take place in Belgium on 19 and 20 November 2002.
