Award winners will be announced through a special virtual event on 7th October and will join a lifelong community of esteemed Entrepreneur Of The Year alumni from around the world. This year, unstoppable entrepreneurs who have provided extraordinary support for their communities, employees and others during the COVID-19 crisis will also be recognised for their courage, resilience and ingenuity.
Entrepreneur Of The Year is one of the preeminent competitive award programs for entrepreneurs and leaders of high-growth companies. The nominees are evaluated based on six criteria, including overcoming adversity; financial performance; societal impact and commitment to building a values-based company; innovation; and talent management. Since its launch, the program has expanded to recognize business leaders in more than 145 cities in over 60 countries around the world.
Reacting to his nomination, Mr Shaw said, 'In a year of extraordinary challenges for businesses across the world, being shortlisted as a finalist for Entrepreneur of the Year®, the world's most prestigious award for entrepreneurs, is particularly humbling and an honour.
'Now is the climate for innovation and entrepreneurialism. For Calysta and companies like us, the opportunities created by The Great Reset to find new solutions to the challenges we face in the months and years ahead will create new markets, new opportunities and new growth.
'Calysta's lead product, FeedKind®, is one of the first commercial scale alternative proteins and is an ideal feed ingredient for fish, livestock and pets. It supports global food security by freeing land and water currently used to grow conventional proteins, helping feed an increasing population in a sustainable way.'
Regional award winners are eligible for consideration for the Entrepreneur Of The Year National Awards, to be announced in November during a virtual awards gala. The Entrepreneur Of The Year National Overall Award winner will then move on to compete for the EY World Entrepreneur Of The Year™ Award in June 2021.
Entrepreneur Of The Year Award winners become lifetime members of a global, multi-industry community of entrepreneurs, with exclusive, ongoing access to the experience, insight and wisdom of program alumni and other ecosystem members in over 60 countries, all supported by vast EY resources.
