Irish companies are urged to enter the European Business Awards 2008, the competition that showcases Europe’s business skills and competencies to the rest of the world.

Adrian Tripp, Chief Executive of the European Business Award, stated: "European business is innovative and talented and it is important that we showcase examples of this brilliance. For the rest of the world the European Business Awards is an advert of our abilities and for Europe, an example for all of us of what is possible."

This opportunity follows the success of an Irish company in the European Business Awards 2007, Diageo, a Dublin-based company drinks business with a collection of brands including Guinness, Baileys and Smirnoff, which was selected to compete in The AXA Award for Corporate Sustainability.

For short-listed and winning companies the recognition and exposure is very powerful as the European Business Awards has extended its partnership with The Wall Street Journal Europe and has set collaborations with important national Media Patrons.

"Every business day The Wall Street Journal Europe reports on business issues and companies across the region. Our association with the European Business Awards allows us to honour the best of these companies and the vision and energy of their leaders," explained Jonathan Wilson, director of marketing and business development, The Wall Street Journal Europe.

Companies only have one more month to enter the awards as the deadline for entries is 18 October 2007.
