The Business Award

Since 1999 the award initiated by BBA-Forum e.V. has been a demanding, innovative corporate competition in the European region of the Danube-Moldau. The aim is to seek out the beacons of the three-state economic region and highlight them.

 

The prize-winners are selected by an independent panel of judges from science and business practice. The panel chooses the winners on the strength of a questionnaire and an audit it conducts. Besides economic data, many other criteria are incorporated from employee management to innovativeness. The aim is to identify economical companies that operate in an ecologically and socially sustainable way.
