The prestigious competition entitled “EY Entrepreneur of the Year” (Ernst & Young), held by EY Azerbaijan, has come to an end.

This competition has existed for more than 30 years and has awards in more than 150 countries around the world.

This year, 13 strong candidates who have shown leadership qualities in entrepreneurship were selected for the final of the competition.

The winner among the candidates who made it to the final stage will represent Azerbaijan at the international stage of the EY World Entrepreneur Of The Year competition, which will be held in June in Monaco and compete with the most innovative businessmen in the world.

At the final stage, Zaur Darabzadeh, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of the CinemaPlus cinema chain, was awarded the Social Impact award in the competition entitled “EY Entrepreneur of the Year”.

Zaur Darabzadeh noted that “CinemaPlus”, after a 2-year break due to the pandemic, ended the reporting period with a profit. He also thanked the staff of the cinema and the audience, with whose support “CinemaPlus” received this award.

The winner of the competition was determined by an independent jury consisting of prominent representatives of the business community and international financial and credit organizations.

“Entrepreneur of the Year” is the first global program of such kind that recognizes those who create and run successful, growing and dynamic businesses by recognizing them through regional, national and global programs.
