GEM Bulgaria Awards 2017
For a second year in a row, the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor Bulgaria presented its Annual entrepreneurship awards to people, teams or organisations which positively impacts the entrepreneurial ecosystem in the country.
“GEM Bulgaria was provoked to establish its Annual entrepreneurship awards by an identified need, arising in our annual report – the lack of enough good examples”, shared Mira Krusteff, vice-chairman of GEM Bulgaria. “The change would not happen in a couple of days, the media play an important role, however, each person is a media – each one of us is responsible to be a good role model, to share good examples, so they can become contagious”.
