Europa-Park & MACK One Receive The Pioneer Award 2025

(eap) A few days ago, the “Pioneer Award 2025” was presented in Berlin as part of the “MY WAY Strategy Summit,” honoring outstanding personalities for their exceptional entrepreneurial achievements. The award, presented by the independent digital media company The Pioneer and its publisher Gabor Steingart in the three categories “Future Shaper”, “Made in Germany” and “Society Impact”, recognizes entrepreneurial accomplishments that combine courage, innovative strength and foresight. The recipients of the Pioneer Award are determined 50 percent by an expert jury and 50 percent through a public audience vote among the readers, listeners and viewers of the The Pioneer platform.

In the category Future Shaper, Michael Mack (pictured here), CEO of MACK One and Managing Partner of Europa-Park, received the award. In its reasoning, The Pioneer stated: “With MACK One, Europa-Park is evolving from a leisure park into an innovation hub with immersive VR experiences, new themed worlds and multimedia gastronomy concepts.” The expert jury added: “Technological pioneering spirit and creative vision make this family business a trailblazer far beyond the leisure industry.” Michael Mack expressed his thanks to his family and his team: “I am very proud and thank the jury, my family and the people who stand behind the entire group of companies. This includes everyone around Europa-Park Resort, MACK One, Mack Rides, VR Coaster and MACK Animation.” ■
