EU Business News proudly presents the fifth consecutive German Enterprise Awards, allowing us the privilege and opportunity to reward the hardworking individuals and firms hailing from this dynamic country.
The impact of COVID-19 has wreaked unprecedented upheaval in many industries and each business has faced unique challenges. We believe now more than ever is the time to recognise those who have successfully navigated their way through the last year.
From engineering and manufacturing to satellite technology and food & drink, the German Business Awards welcomes nominations from all traders and businesses in the country. The programme will highlight those companies who are found to be driving innovation and competition within their sectors, ensuring that the most deserving businesses get to stand in the spotlight.
Simply being nominated can have a huge impact on employee morale and customer engagement and for the companies that go on to win, there are endless ways to maximise the PR opportunity to their advantage. To move successfully from nominee to winner, there must be evidence of extensive expertise and skills, dedication to customer service and client satisfaction with an on-going commitment to excellence and innovation demonstrated by the nominated business.
The German Business Awards are judged purely on merit and not the number of votes received. In order to determine our worthy winners, our in-house research team carefully analyse the information that is available both online and in the public domain as well as any materials supplied by nominees. Additionally, nominees are provided the opportunity to prepare a short case file disclosing details of their chosen business sector and practice, as well as any previous accolades awarded. Case files, product samples and media packs are all accepted but are not mandatory.
With all this in mind if you know of or are a member of an organisation which you feel is worthy of acknowledgement, then please complete the voting form. If you would like further information on how you can get involved, or our awards process then please get in touch with the programme coordinator Holly Morris by using the contact details provided.

The EU Business News team work hard in identifying great businesses, driving many of the nominations themselves. We also encourage external nominations from the subscribers of the magazine, online visitors, social media followers, clients and wider circulation. Nominating parties are invited to put forward either their own business or third-party companies whom they hold in high regard.
All nominees are formally requested to accept their nomination. Should any firm or individual decline at this point, they are simply taken out of the running. Those who formally accept are given the opportunity to submit additional supporting information to cement their nomination. Although there is no obligation to complete and supply material, we have found that many nominees value this stage, in the process, as much as our research team do.
Our dedicated research team will assess all information presented to them. The team gather information independently from a variety of publicly accessible sources, which are assessed alongside any material supplied by a nominating party or the nominee themselves. The research team casts their final judgment, based on various criteria such as: business performance, longevity, business growth (either sustained or rapid), any significant innovations or feedback from stakeholders.
Once winners are selected, they are personally notified before any public announcement is made, allowing time for any communications throughout the wider business and the coordination of marketing strategies. Unfortunately, not everyone can be a winner; however, all who take part are encouraged to come back next year. Once the press embargo is lifted, details of our award winners will be made public via the website, award winners’ magazine and subscriber newsletter.
We are prepared to offer a range of promotional packages and items to winners of a EU Business News award, which vary from inclusion in the free-of-charge winners’ directory, to trophies, content in our magazine and on our website.
We encourage all winners to publicly announce their win independently in order to gain maximum exposure for their win. Announcements via company websites, social media, via publicly released press releases, and through local and national press are all great ways of maximising the exposure which can be gained from such a great achievement. If you have need of further advice, on how to publicise your win, please feel free to get in touch. We are happy to assist our clients with their needs.
Here you will find detail of our winners. All featured winners are included in our digital awards magazine which is published here on our website and distributed to the circulation of EU Business News comprising of a little over 100,000 business leaders & industry professionals.
