EY Entrepreneur Of The Year™

PRESENTATION

A strong partnership for entrepreneurial success

Innovation, strategic foresight, and entrepreneurial courage are the drivers of sustainable growth – especially for the strong German SME sector. As an owner-managed Franco-German private bank, ODDO BHF supports entrepreneurs, family businesses and young companies as a long-term partner on their paths to success.

That is why we are a premium partner of the EY Entrepreneur Of The Year, an award for outstanding entrepreneurial achievement. Together with EY, we want to support visionary entrepreneurs who are shaping the future with new technologies, bold decisions, and responsibility for society.

This year’s competition theme, “Shape the Future with Confidence,” reflects our shared understanding of entrepreneurship: seeing challenges as opportunities and confidently breaking new ground.

We warmly invite you to become part of this network and share your success story. Apply now for the EY Entrepreneur Of The Year 2025 and be there when Germany’s best entrepreneurs are honored on November 6, 2025 in Munich.
