EU Business News is excited to announce the return of the Irish Enterprise Awards, which we have now been hosting for six consecutive years! The Irish business market is both dynamic and industrious, and the Irish Enterprise Awards 2023 will provide a platform for the country’s leading enterprises and entrepreneurs to showcase their success.
Over the years Ireland has evolved to become one of the strongest economic powers in Europe, while also cementing its position as a central hub for innovation across the continent. As many countries continue to struggle financially post-pandemic, economic growth in Ireland has remained stable – consistently outpacing its European counterparts and staying well ahead of the Euro-Zone average in 2022 so far.
Despite facing the same challenges as other neighbouring countries, including an ongoing cost of living crisis and volatile energy prices, Irish businesses have been able to thrive thanks in part to the strength of their exports industry, as well as investments from prominent global corporations. While many sectors are beginning to feel the pressure of inflation, workforce shortages, and supply chain issues, the outlook is still largely optimistic when it comes to future market expansion. In a recent survey of Enterprise Ireland companies, over 90 percent of respondents described their export sales as either “stable” or “increased” compared to last year.
As a leading knowledge economy, the Irish corporate landscape has always had a strong foundation in technological advancement, with market growth closely linked to innovation across its key sectors. Ireland is at the forefront of the booming ICT industry, ranking as the second largest exporter of software and technology services globally. Some of the world’s largest tech companies base their operations here, with Irish capital Dublin hosting the likes of Apple, Facebook, Google, and Amazon to name a few.
Current market trends and predictions paint a very positive picture going into 2023, so now would be the perfect time to take part in the Irish Enterprise Awards! EU Business News accepts external nominations and undertakes independent research to identify the most suitable candidates for recognition, so you can rest assured that every one of our winners is carefully selected based on
merit. Successful recipients will be provided with free marketing tools to celebrate their award, and there will also be an opportunity to take advantage of promotional packages that include editorial, digital, and physical winners’ items.
Receiving an award from a respected publication like EU Business News not only provides a fantastic platform to reach a large audience of industry peers and potential clients across Europe, but also offers a plethora of other benefits! Industry awards are a great way to stand out amongst your competitors, boost sales, increase brand authority, and retain a trusting and loyal customer base! If you would like to nominate yourself – or a deserving company you know – for consideration in the Irish Enterprise Awards 2023, please do so by using the form provided below.
All nominees are researched
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.
Creating the shortlist
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.
Evaluating the shortlisted nominees
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.
How winners are determined
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.
Sharing the exciting news
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.
The Nomination Team can assist with answering any queries that you have regarding a nomination, or the process involved in taking part in one of our award programmes.
Please get in touch with us via email or over the phone if you have any questions - we are happy to help!
