Klarna, the safe online payment company founded in Stockholm in 2005, has been granted with top distinction and received the 2012 Entrepreneur of the Year Award.

The CEO and founder of Enecsys, Michael J. Fister, who created the micro inverter energy harvesting device company in 2003, received the 2012 Innovation Award.

“These awards celebrate young, emerging European technology companies that have demonstrated an ability to bring a unique and original concept to the fore,” said Sven Lingjaerde, Chairman and Founder of the European Tech Tour Association.

Klarna was founded in Stockholm in 2005 with the idea of providing a zero-friction online payment solution that would allow consumers and merchants to interact with each other as safely and simply as possible. Today, Klarna is one of Europe’s fastest growing companies. In 7 years, the company has grown to 700 employees operating in 7 European countries with over 7 million consumers.

To celebrate this distinction, Aletta Stas, COO of Frédérique Constant offered a beautiful Frédérique Constant Heart Beat Manufacture FC-938MC4H6 to Mr Robert Hadzetovic, representant of Mr Sebastian Siemiatkowski, CEO and Co-Founder of Klarna.

Enecsys Limited is the premier supplier of grid-connected micro inverters and monitoring systems. The micro inverter converts and controls DC power generated by each solar module in the PV array into AC power for homes and businesses. The advantages of the Enecsys micro inverter system include: maximized energy harvest, improved safety for installers and users and a lifetime matching that of the solar modules.

Mr Mike Fister, CEO of Enecsys did receive from Peter Stas, CEO of Frédérique Constant, a Frédérique Constant Heart Beat Manufacture FC-935MC4H6 as award.
