Entrepreneurs in the country were boosted with an opportunity to compete for an international business award from renowned auditors, Ernst & Young.<\/p>\n

After the launch of the East African chapter of the Entrepreneur of the Year, Ernst &Young officially opened Rwanda’s programme for the prestigious award at Kigali Serena Hotel on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Regional Managing Partner for Ernst& Young East Africa, Gitahi Gachahi, said that the award targets successful businesses that are visionary and demonstrate a strong entrepreneurial spirit to create sustainability.<\/p>\n

“We want to recognise, honour and support courageous and talented individuals who are contributing to the region’s economy and social progress,” he said.<\/p>\n

“We firmly believe that this programme will enhance our region’s entrepreneurial excellence and stimulate others to exert themselves to the best of their abilities.”<\/p>\n

The Ernst & Young Regional Coordinator, Hannah Njoroge, said that the award would give winners exposure as well as opportunities to network with international business magnates.<\/p>\n

“Winners from East Africa will participate alongside winners from other parts of the world in a forthcoming event in Monte Carlo, France, next year,” Njoroge said.<\/p>\n

Gachahi further expressed satisfaction over the general performance of businesses in the region, saying that they stand a great chance to win the international award amidst stiff competition from the West and Asia.<\/p>\n

“East Africa emerged as a very attractive destination for investment.<\/p>\n

The region is looking to leverage on its collective size, standardise and improve laws governing business, remove tariff barriers and encourage free flow of skills and products,” he said.<\/p>\n

He added that Africa is the untold story and could be next big story of the next decade.<\/p>\n

The award contains two categories; the Master Entrepreneur and the Emerging Entrepreneur of the Year.<\/p>\n

The Master category belongs to businesses of over ten years and with a turnover of at least US$50 million (Rwf30billion), whereas the Emerging category involves firms that are 2-7 years with a turn over of at least US$5million.<\/p>\n
