Enterprises have been able to nominate themselves in three categories: - the fastest-growing Swedish company in Estonia; - Act of Corporate Social Responsibility of the Year; - Innovation of the Year. A panel of experts will select three candidates from all of the nominations received in each category. The final selection will be made by representatives of the Swedish Embassy, executives of Swedbank and the Swedish Export Council. The Swedish Business Awards 2009 is not merely aimed at Swedish companies in Estonia: all Estonian enterprises who have shown outstanding results in the fields could also nominate themselves in the categories of Act of Corporate Social Responsibility of the Year and Innovation of the Year.
