Finalists have been selected for the last remaining stage of the Stelios Award for Business Co-operation in Cyprus - 2012. This prestigious €250,000 competition is now in its fourth year under the sponsorship of the Stelios Philanthropic Foundation, the education-to-entrepreneurship charity headed by easyJet founder, Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou.

The Award, aimed at promoting harmonious business partnerships between the island's Greek-Cypriot and Turkish-Cypriot entrepreneurs, attracted close to 30 applications by the deadline for entry on August 31. The final stage involves in-depth assessment of the entrepreneurial partnerships by Stelios and his team before five winning partnerships are presented with a €50,000 cheque by Sir Stelios at a ceremony at the newly-minted Stelios House in Limassol on October 15. Teams must consist of at least one Greek-Cypriot and one Turkish-Cypriot entrepreneur working together for the benefit of the whole island.
