Nominations now open for EY Entrepreneur of the Year 2025 awards
Those who excel across the four criteria will be honored with award titles that reflect their qualities or achievements
NOMINATIONS for the annual EY Entrepreneur of the Year (EOY) awards in Singapore are now open until Apr 1.
This is the 24th edition of the awards, which recognise and celebrate innovative and passionate entrepreneurs.
In a media release on Monday (Mar 3), EY Singapore said that nominees will be assessed across four globally benchmarked criteria – entrepreneurial spirit, growth, purpose and impact.
Entrepreneurs who excel across these four criteria will be honoured with award titles that reflect their qualities or achievements.
The individual who ranks the highest across all criteria will be selected as the EY Entrepreneur Of The Year 2025 Singapore, and will represent the country at the EY World Entrepreneur Of The Year award next year.
This year’s theme is “The Shapers”, which celebrates how entrepreneurs are shapers of the future.
