Message of Country Managing Partner - Entrepreneur Of The Year - Ernst & Young - Taiwan

Vision and innovation
Twenty-five years of inspiration

This year marks the 25th anniversary since the Entrepreneur Of The Year awards were created by Ernst & Young in the US in 1986. Over the decades, we have honored the world’s leading entrepreneurs with this award.

We believe that entrepreneurship embraces the power to overcome the economic difficulties and to drive the spirit of innovation. Entrepreneurship not only makes a tremendous impact on the surrounding environment, it inspires a positive force to the world.

Furthermore, entrepreneurs are distinguished through their extraordinary vision with fresh macro perspectives of the economy and trends and dedication to their communities and the world. We believe that entrepreneurial vision will lead enterprises to conquer the downturn, face challenges and turn the crisis into a promising opportunity. The entrepreneurial spirit ultimately invigorates the transformation of the business community and society.

In Taiwan, the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year award is in its seventh year. The ability of Taiwan entrepreneurs to create outstanding achievements with limited resources is recognized around the world as a Taiwan miracle. Those who have represented Taiwan and won admiration worldwide have incredible determination and vitality to walk through obstacles, and most of all, they have the power to continue to innovate and to make change. They seize every opportunity to transform and advance their business with passion and commitment.

We cordially invite you to participate in the 2011 Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year program by helping us identify outstanding entrepreneurs in Taiwan.

James Wang
Chairman and CEO, Ernst & Young Taiwan
