WeDO seeks Scotland’s most resilient entrepreneurs

WeDO Scotland has launched its’ annual search for the most innovative entrepreneurs, business leaders and SMEs.

The 12th annual event aims to honour the resilience, creativity and success of the Scottish business community during some of the most challenging economic times for more than a decade.

A new award, SME Business of the Year, has been added to the existing seven categories, which include Eco Entrepreneur, International Entrepreneur and Employee-Owned Business of the Year.

Belinda Roberts, chief executive of WeDO, said: “SMEs are the lifeblood of the Scottish economy and despite the current economic challenges, Scotland’s entrepreneurs and businesses are to be admired and applauded for their contributions and forward-thinking.

“We are keen this year to attract more nominations and applications from female-led businesses, recognising their considerable talents, impact on driving positive change and shaping the future for generations to come.

“With many businesses facing considerable challenges in the current climate, it’s important to celebrate the successes of those bucking the trend and demonstrating resilience.”

The awards are free to enter and open to non-members, as well as the 180-strong WeDO community.

A panel of judges will evaluate applications based on their innovation, impact, sustainability and business acumen, culminating in in-person interviews for two finalists in each of the eight categories.
