The judging panel was made up of highly regarded academics, heads of state, industrialists, entrepreneurs and media commentators drawn from across the 27 member European States. Adrian Tripp, Chief Executive of the European Business Awards comments on the awards ceremony this year, "2009 has been a highly eventful year for businesses across the globe, not least across Europe. In the face of this environment, our Ruban d’Honneur winners have shown a combination of entrepreneurial flair and strong growth strategies. This approach has awarded them with an average annual growth of 56%, compared to the contraction experienced by a number of their competitors,".
