Vote for Rimac Automobili – EBA National Public Champion

The company, already named as one of the National Champions in the independently judged part of the competition, has posted a video overview online at www.businessawardseurope.com giving a powerful insight into the story of their business and its success. 

Competing against all other National Champions for the public vote, the company with the most votes will be named ‘National Public Champion’ for Croatia on the 7th of March 2016. The first phase of the online voting is open from the 11th of January to 26th of February 2016. 

Monika Mikac, Chief Operations Officer in Rimac Automobili says: “We are pleased to be nominated as the National Champion and we hope to become the European Public Champion. The public has 7 weeks to vote online for their favorite company and we are hoping that they will watch our video and vote for us. That vote means a great deal to us as both our existing and potential customers and clients give their approval to our success.”

The second public vote will see all the National Public Champions from 32 different countries compete against each other to become the overall European Public Champion. The voting for this takes place between the 7th of March and the 26th of April 2016, with the results announced at the European Business Awards Gala event in June 2016.

Adrian Tripp, CEO of the European Business Awards said: “Last year the public vote generated over 170,000 votes from across the world.  It is a very important part of the Awards as it gives these entrepreneurial companies another way of showcasing their achievements.”
He continued: “So we ask everyone wanting to support their country or business in general to take some time, watch the videos, and cast their vote.”
 
The European Business Awards was created to recognize and promote business success and support the development of a stronger business community throughout Europe. Additional sponsors and partners of the Awards include ELITE, the UKTI and PR Newswire.

In the 2014/15 competition, all EU member markets were represented plus Turkey, Norway, Switzerland, Serbia and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. Their combined revenue exceeded €1.5 trillion, and together they generated profits of over 60 billion Euros.
