Skypedaddies Janus Friis and Niklas Zennström have been nominated as Europeans of the Year in the prestigious EV50 Awards.
Like a sort of Euro Names Oscars shortlist, the EV50 spotlights the continent's top 50 movers and shakers. Other nominees this year include German Chancellor Angela Merkel and the groundbreaking French surgeons who performed the world's first face transplant.
To make the list is a big deal in itself; to win would be an amazing achievement. You can make it happen! At the risk of sounding like brucie on Stricly Come Dancing, get voting now, folks. Click here to register your support for Niklas and Janus in the European Business Leaders category. Voting closes on November 10, and winners will be revealed at a gala dinner at the Cercle Royal Gaulois in Brussels on November 28.
