The award ceremony of EY Entrepreneur of the Year 2017, the world’s most prestigious business award for entrepreneurs, was held at Mandarin Oriental Taipei in the evening of Nov. 29. EY Entrepreneur of the Year, founded by EY, is the first international award to honor outstanding entrepreneurs, celebrating their success in business operation with wisdom and perseverance. Since the first program in 1986 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, U.S.A., the program has been running for 30 years and has grown to more than 145 cities in 60 countries.    

After being elected the Chief of Fierce Women in Biopharm Taiwan in 2016, Madam Yu-Pei Wang, General Manager of Nangkuang Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., continues to lead the enterprise toward transformation and innovation with medical morality as the cornerstone. Her prospect and courage in business investment created supreme quality. Her leadership style and extensive experiences contributed enormously to the development of the industry. Being the most representative entrepreneur bearing the spirit of Taiwan, she was honored the steady and innovative entrepreneur award of 2017 without disappointing our expectation. In the past, EY Entrepreneur of the Year Program has celebrated thousands of most successful and innovative entrepreneurs with extreme influences, including Guy Laliberté of Cirque du Soleil, Michael Dell of Dell Technologies, Howard Schultz of Starbucks Coffee, Jerry Yang of Yahoo, Jeff Bezos of Amazon, Pierre Omidyar of eBay, and Scott McNealy of Sun Microsystems.

General Manager Yu-Pei Wang expressed her appreciation to the international committee for recognition of her achievement. She also respected EY’s Entrepreneur of the Year Program for successfully celebrating those excellent entrepreneurs who create and lead their enterprises to continuous growth and innovation. Through praising their vision, leadership style, and outstanding achievement, the society is greatly inspired. It’s also a great honor for her to participate in this award program with international reputation to enhance Taiwan’s excellent entrepreneurs to international level and shine brightly together with other successful business leaders from all over the world.
