Best Start-up Award powered by Banca Transilvania will go to a young company or project which capitalizes on a novel idea, tries to solve an important current shortcoming in business or society, and uses innovative approaches in product development & promotion. Eligible companies officially incorporated in 2016 or later, or projects not yet incorporated but in the seed phase, with a prototype product or service and a sound business model. Apply here!

Employer of the Year Award powered by Up Romania will recognize a company which offers innovative, fair and balanced benefits to its employees, an inspiring work atmosphere, training, and personal growth support for its staff, gender-balanced employment as well as a consistent approach on the HR front. Companies with at least 50 employees that can display HR policies and concrete results are eligible. Apply here!

Most Scalable Social Responsibility Project Award powered by UiPath will go to the social responsibility project which has the biggest potential to inspire other companies, NGOs or people to replicate it and thus easily multiply its benefits across Romania or the world. Eligible are the social responsibility projects implemented in the last 12 months in Romania, with enough information about the results of those projects, irrespective of the company or NGO size. A single company/NGO can submit up to 3 social responsibility projects for the award. Each project should be submitted separately. Apply here!
