In its July issue (No. 269), Paperjam unveils its longlist, the Top 1000, ahead of December’s flagship event: the Paperjam Top 100, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary and will honour the country’s most influential decision-makers. On the cover of this issue, the winner of the last Top 100, Carole Muller, explains what having influence really means to her.
Are you on the list? This month, Paperjam is publishing its Top 1000, a longlist that will serve as the basis for the jury tasked with selecting the country’s 100 most influential decision-makers at the 11th Top 100, 15 December at the Rockhal. The biennial event, launched in 2006 and co-developed with the consultant Carlo Schneider will therefore be celebrating its 20th birthday.
This longlist, which comprises just over 1,400 profiles, brings together executives, entrepreneurs, directors, experts, investors, lawyers, bankers, industrialists, creators, emerging talents and more low-profile figures from all the major sectors of the Luxembourg economy... What they all have in common is that, each in their own way, they contribute to Luxembourg’s development, influence or transformation.
