I believe that people can appreciate the differences in approach, in design, in detail, and our jury of dozens of great market professionals especially. We want to become the Czech business Oscars, an evening where no one important can be absent. Our current goal is to prepare a new website that will together serve the Czech and international editions of the Fenix Awards and the conferences in Prague and London," says Katerina Borovanská, CEO of the Fenix Awards.
