The competition has been held in the Czech Republic since 2000. The entrepreneurs are most often nominated by their colleagues, friends, business partners, or families. The decisive criteria are honesty, integrity, and, above all, an exceptional business story and the creation of long-term value.

The competition takes place first at the level of individual regions and then culminates in a national final. This year’s event took place on 3 March 2026 during a gala evening in the Spanish Hall of Prague Castle. It was here that Mr Gevorg Avetisjan, already a three-time winner of the Moravian-Silesian Region (2013, 2014, and 2025) and the 2018 Entrepreneurial Inspiration of the Decade, received another important accolade – he became one of the five most successful entrepreneurs in the Czech Republic.

We greatly appreciate the fact that the long-term work, commitment, and values that underpin our shared story have been recognised in this prestigious competition.
