To whom may concern, Finnova, with the support of the European Commission -concretely the Directorate General of Networks and Communications (DG CONNECT) and the Committee of the Regions, is happy to announce the launching of the StartUp Europe Awards 2016. This is an initiative by Finnova following the massive goal set for the European institutions to increase the entrepreneurship activity in the EU trough the Enterpreneurship Action Plan for 2020. As part of this action plan, StartUpEurope was initiated by the European Commission as a mean to implement the business environment in Europe as well as to recognise their work all around Europe. Considering that the entrepreneurship activity rate in Europe currently reaches the 8%, whilst in the USA that same rate overcome the 12%, according to Eurostat, actions within StartUp Europe is nowadays more important than ever. Following that massive goal, StartUp Europe Awards 2016 has been initiated by Finnova to recognise the work of the most innovative startups based in Europe, Latin America, USA, Israel and Arab Emirates, Asia, in five levels (local, county, regional, national and European) and in eight different areas: Environment, Social, ICTs, Energy, Tourism, Cities, Water, and Creative industries. It also aims at implementing the entrepreneurship innovation and recognising the work of the organizers of StartUp Awards in Europe. This is therefore a brilliant opportunity for your institution to contact the startups existing all around Europe and even beyond, as well as to get to know the local, regional, national and European challenges concerning their development and implementation, which could be addressed through the presentation of innovative projects, thus contributing to the EU's goals.
