Jaroslav Follprecht and Roman Žák have won the regional round of the 2020 EY Entrepreneur of the Year competition for the Pilsen Region.

During the rating process, the jury – made up of previous winners such as the winner of EY Entrepreneur of the Year 2019, Oliver Dlouhý (founder of the global travel search site Kiwi.com), and other experts – focused on both entrepreneurial spirit and other areas, such as innovation, strategic management and national, or global, impact.

“Doing business and running a company as a duo has its difficulties. Through their story, Aimtec’s founders Jaroslav and Roman have been showing us all how to successfully jointly build a company for over 20 years,” stated Magdalena Souček, Country Managing Partner at EY Czech Republic, for the iDnes.cz news server.

Entrepreneur of the Year is the only globally recognised competition of its kind and sees regular participation by entrepreneurs from nearly 60 countries worldwide. It first arose in the USA and has been held within individual countries at the regional level since 1986. Competitors in the Czech Republic simultaneously compete in further categories such as EY Tech Entrepreneur of the Year and EY Beginning Entrepreneur of the Year. The competition’s goal is to highlight and present business success stories, thus inspiring both beginning and experienced entrepreneurs.
