Six Maltese businesses named national champions in the European Business awards

Six businesses have been named National Champions for Malta in The European Business Awards sponsored by RSM, a prestigious competition supported by businesses leaders, academics, media and political representatives from across Europe. 

The European Business Awards, now in its ninth year, engaged with over 32,000 businesses from 33 European countries this year and over 700 companies from across Europe have been named today as National Champions. These companies have earned the right to go through to the second phase of the competition.

The National Champions for Malta are:

• 2X Software – The Business of the Year Award with Turnover of €0-25m
• AquaBioTech Group - The Business of the Year Award with Turnover of €0-25m
• B2B Gaming Services Ltd - The RSM Entrepreneur of the Year Award
• BRND WGN Co Ltd - The ELITE Award for Growth Strategy of the Year
• Medserv plc - The ELITE Award for Growth Strategy of the Year
• OzoSystem Ltd - The ELITE Award for Growth Strategy of the Year

The European Business Awards’ primary purpose is to support the development of a stronger and more successful business community throughout Europe.

The European Business Awards programme serves the European business community in three ways: it celebrates and endorses individuals’ and organisations’ success; it provides and promotes examples of excellence for the business community to aspire to and it engages with the European business community to create debate on key issues.

Deo Scerri, Managing Partner of RSM Malta, the country member of RSM International said: “We are absolutely thrilled that 6 businesses have been chosen as the best businesses in Europe and will represent Malta in the European Business Awards. This showcases the amazing talent and business success this country has and we wish them all the best for the next round.” 

The next round requires the National Champions to make a presentation video, telling their unique story and explaining their business success. The judges will view all of the National Champions’ videos, and award the best of this group the coveted ‘Ruban d’Honneur’ status.  Ruban d’Honneur recipients will then go on to be part of the grand final in 2016.

Separately, the National Champion videos will be made public on the European Business Awards website www.businessawardseurope.com as part of a two stage public vote, which will decide the ‘National Public Champions’ for each country. 

Last year over 170,000 votes were cast as companies from across Europe were publicly supported by their clients, staff and peers, as well as the general public.

Supported since their inception by lead sponsor and promoter RSM, the seventh largest audit, tax and advisory network worldwide with a major presence across Europe, the European Business Awards was up to support the development of a stronger and more successful business community throughout Europe.

In the 2014/15 competition, all EU member markets were represented plus Turkey, Norway, Switzerland, Serbia, Croatia and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. Their combined revenue exceeded €1.5 trillion, and together they generated profits of over 60 billion Euros and employ over 2.5 million people.
