At the awards ceremony in late March, the European Commission and the Finnova Foundation awarded five significant startups in Europe for their social impact. Bolt – formerly known as Taxify – was awarded the best young-led startup.
The ceremony was chaired by the European Commissioner for Digital Economy and Society, Mariya Gabriel, together with the mayor of Cluj-Napoca, Emil Boc, and the minister of communication and information society of Romania, Alexandru Petrescu, the company said in a statement.
The most outstanding startups from the EU and neighboring countries were chosen out of 70 applicants through an open call for a special edition focused on social impact.
The honoured startups were:
OKRA Technologies (female-led startup) from the UK
Bolt (the founder under 30 startup) from Estonia
NorthQ (a UN sustainable development goals startup) from Denmark
Kidibot (a social inclusion startup) from Romania
