Founders Awards Gala 2020 was broadcasted live from Berns in Stockholm on September 24. It was a memorable evening where we got to listen to emotional and inspiring speeches from the stage, and pay tribute to the winners of the Founders Awards.
Earlier in the day, the finalists in each category had introduce themselves and their companies to a jury of qualified founders, and during the evening, the Founder of the Year Honorary Award, Founder of the Year and Young Founder of the Year awards were presented.

- It feels good that this year's Founders Awards Gala, the 19th in a row, gathered the most founders so far, and that we put a stronger focus on more equal entrepreneurship and company ownership and highlighted founders in several company phases. It is now that founders are needed more than ever to take society out of this crisis and become more sustainable and better than before, says Niclas Carlsson, CEO and founder of Founders Alliance.
The purpose of Founders Awards Gala is to promote and inspire successful founders by highlighting entrepreneurial role models, increasing the pace of growth in existing entrepreneurial companies and creating value for participating founders through inspiration, exchange of knowledge and valuable relationships.
