About The Rising Stars Awards
The second annual Rising Stars Awards ceremony will take place on June 20th in Monte Carlo, Monaco – on the evening prior the annual Automotive News Europe Congress.
Based on the success of the Automotive News Europe EUROSTARS event honoring the leaders of the automotive industry, it was decided to implement a new yearly program honoring those automotive executives in middle and upper management whom are likely to become the ‘Eurostars’ of tomorrow, together with the companies who are nurturing that future leadership talent. These ‘Rising Stars’ are already setting the agenda for the industry of tomorrow and stand to reap the biggest rewards over the next decade.
Launched in 2011, Automotive News Europe’s first Rising Stars award program was a huge success, drawing more than 250 guests to Cologne, Germany last June. The winners came from all disciplines – designers, engineers, financial bosses and product planners – and from companies across Europe, including Volkswagen, Ferrari and Aston Martin, to name just a few.
