Tech Tour Growth Awards

 

 

The Tech Tour will hold its 10th Annual Growth Award ceremony at the Tech Tour Growth Forum gala dinner at the Beau Rivage, Lausanne, on the evening of March 17, 2016.

 

The prestigious Growth Award will be presented to the European technology entrepreneur whose private company has had the biggest impact, on the largest number of people, in the least amount of time.

 

The Innovation Award will be presented to a company that has a visionary product or breakthrough technology and is experiencing visible hyper-growth.

 

Not every year however when warranted, the Selection Committee chooses to honour a third entrepreneur with the Special Jury Prize. This award recognises an entrepreneur whose company has great potential and is ‘one to watch’. In 2015 the Jury Prize went to Scytl.

 

The Award winners will be posted here on March 18th.
