The Y4 Committee, which brings together 36 organisations from Central Finland, has won the Grand Prize in the European Enterprise Awards. A high level jury, made up of independent experts, awarded the prize because Y4 has brought about a ‘cultural change by spreading entrepreneurial thinking in all layers of society’. At the official ceremony of the first European Enterprise Awards in Brussels on 7 December 2006, five other initiatives from local authorities to support entrepreneurship were rewarded in special categories for Enterprise Support, Red Tape Reduction, Investment in People, Responsible Entrepreneurship and the Entrepreneurial Trailblazer.
