As our podcast listeners may already know, tech.eu has decided to recognize a Person of the Year. For 2015, we picked Niklas Zennström! Here's why:

As our podcast listeners may already know, tech.eu has decided to recognize a Person of the Year who has made a considerable contribution to the European tech ecosystem.

We are pleased to announce that we have decided to honor Niklas Zennström for our first-ever edition of this award, as tech.eu's Person of the Year for 2015.

Niklas has made a very considerable contribution to the European tech ecosystem throughout his career. First, as an entrepreneur and co-founder of several high-profile ventures, including Skype and Kazaa. Skype was perhaps one of Europe's earliest success stories that helped put European startups on the map. With $2.6 billion and $8.5 billion acquisitions by eBay and Microsoft respectively, Skype is a great example of a European startup that hit record valuation prior to the unicorn-era.
