The Famigro Award 2023 is currently accepting applications. The Famigro Award honors a creative business venture each year. The Young Friends of the Countryside (YFCS) are able to assist a start-up project each year that addresses the current difficulties facing the rural sector thanks to Mr. Grotenfelt’s initiative.
Rural entrepreneurs support environmental stewardship and social responsibility, and their entrepreneurial endeavors help to shape the rural countryside. By giving these worthwhile initiatives access to the network of the Friends and Young Friends of the Countryside, the Famigro Award seeks to boost their prospects of success and growth.
