BAYERNS BEST 50 - AWARD 2004

For the third time, the annual BAYERNS BEST 50 Award Ceremony took place in Münich (Germany) on 23rd June 2004 in the Munich Residence. Minister Dr. Otto Wiesheu (Economic Affairs, Bavaria) and Martin Schoeller, President of Europe's 500 Entrepreneurs for Growth, honoured the 50 most dynamic and fast-growing Bavarian companies with the "Bavarian Lion". About 250 guests from industry, banks, politics and the media enjoyed the festive evening including the award ceremony, speeches, Gala Dinner and music.

"The Best 50 created roughly 9,000 jobs between 1999 and 2003", proudly announced Minister Wiesheu. Job creation and growth are the main criteria for BAYERNS BEST 50 Listing that is based on the same criteria as the annual Europe's 500 Listing.

The research has been conducted by Europe's 500 Entrepreneurs for Growth, supported by Rödl & Partner and Creditreform.

"It is important to honour the work and the results as well as the readiness of the entrepreneurs to take risks. They are the locomotives of the economy and the job creators contributing thereby to more entrepreneurship and more growth" explained Martin Schoeller in his speech.
