EY Entrepreneur of the Year™ Malta 2024

EY Entrepreneur of the Year™ is a unique global program that recognizes entrepreneurial achievement among individuals and companies that demonstrate vision, leadership and success - and work to improve the quality of life in their communities, countries and around the world.

Recognizing Malta's best and brightest

The EY Entrepreneur Of The Year™ program was established more than 30 years ago and today operates in more than 60 countries and 145 cities around the world.

By participating in the EY Entrepreneur Of The Year program, entrepreneurs can connect with their peers, access relevant insights to help navigate their growth journey and raise the profile of their companies and teams. Each program culminates in the announcement of an overall winner who then competes for the prestigious EY World Entrepreneur Of The Year™ Award.

The Malta award is entering its seventh year, promotes entrepreneurship across the Maltese islands and empowers entrepreneurs to grow their businesses both locally and globally. 

The winner will be heading to Monaco in June 2024 to compete for the EY World Entrepreneur of the Year Award, an event that brings together national winners from more than 60 countries.
