Nominees were selected by a jury, which included representatives of financial institutions, business organisations, the Ministry of Economics, LIAA and the media. Data on the company’s exports, added value created, profitability and number of employees were evaluated. The jury also got acquainted with the company’s development plans, investments in human capital, ensuring sustainable growth, and cooperation with scientific research institutions. The companies’ success in marketing for the promotion of their products in foreign markets was also evaluated separately.
