In this fourth year, the European Business Awards has identified Transmode based on its ability to demonstrate the three core principles of innovation, business excellence and sustainability.

Final category Award winners will be unveiled in Paris on 16th November. "Our team at Transmode is honored to be among the companies representing Sweden in the European Business Awards. I am delighted that the hard work and commitment from our staff is being recognised on such a prestigious platform and it's very satisfying to be classified as one of the leading businesses in Sweden," said Karl Thedéen, CEO Transmode.

Adrian Tripp, CEO of the European Business Awards says, "Over the past 4 years we've received an incredibly high standard of entries from organisations who are passionate about their business. However, very few get the chance to fly the flag for their country and compete across Europe to be recognised as one of the EU's leading companies. It really is an exceptional accolade to be picked as a Country Representative, and together with HSBC we're looking forward to seeing Sweden in the next round."
