Entrepreneurial Award Ceremony 2020

Le 03/12/2020

For the fourth year in a row, the Danish-French Chamber of Commerce awarded the entrepreneur of the year in partnership with Atos. Since the circumstances limited this year’s number of participants at the French Embassy, it was also possible for the members of the chamber to see the Award ceremony live from Teams.

This year’s entrepreneurial initiatives were from four different and really interesting start-ups. Namely:
- Lemon Learning
- Ecotree
- Le French Kiosk
- PYTHEAS Technology

Both present at the Embassy and live streamed, The French ambassador in Denmark Caroline Ferrari and Claus Larsen, country manager at Atos Denmark, welcomed the participants of the ceremony.

Afterwards, the last year’s winners Gina Périer and Alexander Egebjerg founders of Lapee made a presentation about the evolution of their company since they won the competition last year.

Each of the four mentioned entrepreneurial competitors of this year made a presentation of their project. Nordic Country Manager of Lemon Learning Mathieu Lamotte and Partner and CEO of Ecotree Thomas Canguilhem were present at the Embassy, while the CEO of PYTHEAS Frederic Mosca and the CO-founder of Le French Kiosk Antoine Christaki de Germain attended the event online from France.

Ulrik Fleischer-Michaelsen, partner at 360 Law Firm, attended the ceremony by Teams and informed the audience that his lawyer company is going to offer juridical support for a value of 20.000 DKK to the winner. Definitely a great and helpful offer for an entrepreneur. Learn more about 360 Law Firm by clicking here.

Pierre-Yves Jullien, the president of the jury, summed up the presentations and stressed the difficulties the committee have had when choosing this year’s winner. Since the four initiatives are very different, but vastly relevant and competent, the decision has not been easy.

But the choice had to be made and the Ambassador Caroline Ferrari and Claus Larsen revealed this year’s decision of the committee, which was Ecotree.

The prize awarded to Ecotree was funded by 360 Law Firm who offered juridical assistance for the company and from Vin Fra Loire (www.vinfraloire.dk) who offered a bottle of bubbles dressed by a luxurious bottle holder for bike. An elegant and practical way to transport serenely your bottle on your bike. The French touch combines with the Danish one.
