EY World Entrepreneur Of The Year™

EY World Entrepreneur Of The Year™ convenes visionary founders, CEOs and business leaders from around the world in the ultimate global competition for entrepreneurs. This annual event is dedicated to celebrating the accomplishments of intrepid leaders whose vision and innovation are creating long-term value and building a better working world. 

Culminating in a series of exclusive events over three days in Monaco, 6-9 June 2023, our annual gathering of the world’s leading entrepreneurs, enabled them to connect with future-forward, ambitious founders and CEOs; attend workshops hosted by the most sought-after thought leaders; and experience the cultural richness only the South of France has to offer.

Attendees included the Class of 2023 competitors, a panel of esteemed and independent judges, luminary speakers, our ecosystem of EY Entrepreneur Of The Year^TM alumni and EY executive leadership, including EY Global Chairman and CEO Carmine Di Sibio.

An event of global significance

Given today’s uncertain economic, social and environmental climate, programs like EY World Entrepreneur Of The Year are needed more than ever to support innovators who think differently and risk boldly to create new solutions. Entrepreneurs are answering the call to address global sustainability; ever-changing technology; diversity, equity and inclusion; and economic volatility.

The ultimate global competition for entrepreneurs

Entrepreneurs who won their respective EY Entrepreneur Of The Year competitions came together in Monaco to see who would be named the world winner. A diverse panel of independent judges — entrepreneurs themselves — assessed the achievements of each competitor in the Class of 2023 against four criteria: entrepreneurial spirit, purpose, growth and impact.
