Novastar was awarded as “Greek Business Champion” in the framework of the “Protagonists of the Greek Economy 2019” which organized for a 5th consecutive year by the Direction Business Network under the auspices of the Ministry of Finance & Growth, the Hellenic Federation of Enterprises (SEV) as well as the support of Piraeus Bank.

The award-winning ceremony took place on Monday 10th of June 2019 at Athens Concert Hall and attended by more than 600 senior executives of the Greek corporate community and representatives of the academic world. This event was dedicated to the most successful Greek companies which managed to bounce back and grow during the crisis, supporting at the same time the Greek economy.

The awards arise from official data of published balance sheets as well as the general impression and the market’s assessment about the enterprises’ progress in Greece.
