EY Hanyoung Hosts the 14th EY Best Entrepreneur Award Ceremony

[Asia Economy Reporter Minji Lee] EY Han Young announced on the 5th that it will hold the '14th EY Entrepreneur of the Year Awards' ceremony.

The EY Entrepreneur of the Year Award is given annually by EY to entrepreneurs who have demonstrated exemplary challenge and innovation in 50 countries and over 145 cities worldwide.

It was first launched in the United States in 1986 to honor the efforts, passion, and achievements of entrepreneurs who have succeeded with exceptional spirit and vision, and to spread such entrepreneurial spirit. It is recognized globally as a prestigious award, often called the "Oscar of the business world." In Korea, EY Han Young has been hosting the EY Entrepreneur of the Year Awards since 2007.

For the selection of domestic winners in 2020, an independent judging panel (chaired by former Financial Services Commission Chairman Seokdong Kim) conducted a rigorous review over approximately six months. The panel evaluated candidates based on six criteria: entrepreneurial spirit, value creation, strategic direction, domestic and global impact, innovation, and personal character and leadership.

The award categories include the Master Award, Family Business category, Rising Star category, and Women Entrepreneur Special category.

This year’s EY Entrepreneur of the Year Awards ceremony will be simplified and held to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
