The Good Entrepreneur - One idea to change the world<br />
The Good Entrepreneur is a competition which aims to identify entrepreneurs across Europe with<br />
environmentally responsible business concepts, which make a contribution to the protection of the<br />
environment.<br />
June 2009<br />
This competition has been created in partnership between CNBC, the leading business and financial news<br />
television channel and Allianz, one of the leading integrated financial services providers worldwide.<br />
The competition opened on 8 June 2009 and entries will close on 31 July 2009. The winning individual<br />
named 'The Good Entrepreneur of 2009' will receive a prize package worth more than €250,000, which will<br />
include a cash element of €50,000 plus exposure on CNBC, as well as comprehensive business support<br />
from Allianz.<br />
Anyone who is based in Europe can now enter via the website. You'll be asked to fill out an application<br />
form and submit a 60 second video, pitching your idea. The video doesn't have to be fancy - you could film<br />
it on your mobile phone - it's the idea that counts.<br />
The three finalists, who will be announced on 17 August 2009, will be filmed for a four-part televised<br />
series on CNBC, documenting the progress of each person. In the series finale, a panel of high profile<br />
judges will reveal the winner of the competition. The series will be broadcasted across Europe, the Middle<br />
East and Africa and in Asia during the autumn of 2009.<br />
If you'd like more information about entering the competition or how you can get involved as an<br />
organisation, please visit the website, or get in touch with Victoria Crawford or Bonnie Flaws at CNBC.
