Four Greek companies were selected recently, among the top 110 European companies, as the finalists and “Ruban d ‘Honneur” 2015/2016 recipients of the prestigious European Business Awards (EBAs). The businesses advanced to the next and final phase of the competition where the winners will be announced in each of the 11 categories at the Awards Gala Final on 17 June in Milan.

The four Greek companies that qualified for the final are Coffee Island, Megas Yeeros, Pharma-Data, and Vikos.

The EBA’s National Champions and “Ruban d ‘Honneur” finalists are selected by an esteemed panel of around 150 independent judges made-up of European business and political leaders, academics, and entrepreneurs. The “Ruban d ‘Honneur” title is given to the top ten companies from all over Europe for each of the 11 categories of the awards, including Entrepreneur of the Year Award, Award for Customer Focus, Employer of the Year Award, etc.

36 Greek companies were initially distinguished as National Champions, which put Greece in 6th place of total distinctions by country, among a pool of 678 additional National Champions from 33 countries across Europe.

In an online video public vote running alongside the independent judging part of the competition, the Greek company, Loux, was named as the National Public Champion for Greece in the 1st phase of public voting between January and February after almost 160,000 people voted online. There are now 32 National Public Champions competing for a second public vote that runs until 26 April. The company from across Europe with the most votes at the end of this period will be announced as the ultimate European Public Champion also at the EBA’s Gala Final in June.
