Awards 2008 for the best investment in Europe
For the past five years, the World Investment Conference has presented annual awards for both the best investment and the most dynamic European investment promotion agency. In 2008, these two prizes have been combined to form a single award in recognition of the fact that outstanding investments do not materialize without effective support from a well-organized development agency.
Our 2008 awards honoured three international investors and three European development agencies (regional and national) for projects leveraging innovation and favouring job creation. A special prize was awarded for an investment on the southern shores of the Mediterranean.
The awards ceremony took place on June 6, 2008. The trophies were awarded to the winning companies and the diplomas were awarded to the winning regional development agencies.
