Finnish municipalities and regional organizations have held ceremonies to recognize the contributions of local businesses and entrepreneurs. In Joensuu, awards were presented to companies such as Lämpökarelia oy, Pirisen Leipomo oy, and TMI Volie. In the Kymenlaakso region, honors were given to Tyylikotka oy and Pia Huusari.

These celebrations coincide with National Entrepreneur's Day, an annual event established in 1997 to honor the economic and societal impact of entrepreneurship. In the Päijät-Häme region, Getadeal Oy was named the Asikkala Entrepreneur of the Year for its work in the circular economy. Discussions in areas like Varkaus further highlight how entrepreneurship supports local employment and regional services.
