Europe’s 500 – Entrepreneurs for Growth

website : www.europes500.com

Europe’s 500 – Entrepreneurs for Growth is the only pan-European membership and networking association for growth entrepreneurs (fast-growing small and medium entrepreneurs or "gazelles") dedicated to promoting entrepreneurship and growth in Europe.

Entrepreneurs for Growth is the publisher of Europe’s 500, the annual list of the top 500 growth entrepreneurs in Europe. As members of the Association, the Europe’s 500 entrepreneurs represent the elite of growth in Europe. The objective of Europe’s 500 is to contribute to an environment which is more favourable to entrepreneurship by developing initiatives for growth and by looking for a dialogue with the EU institutions.

Europe’s 500 runs three key activities to achieve its goals:

• The Europe’s 500 Listing, an annual listing of the top 500 fastest-growing companies in Europe to honour and award them for their outstanding achievements in creating new jobs and economic growth.
• The Europe’s 500 Roundtable for Growth meets with EU high-level decision-makers to contribute to achieve the goals of the revised Lisbon Agenda.
• The Europe’s 500 Growth Summit is the annual conference for growth entrepreneurs, politicians and decision-makers to exchange their experiences and work out recommendations for the Europe’s 500 Roundtable for Growth activities.
