Best Parents Award 2026 SWCC Davos: Celebrating the Heroes Behind the Next Generation
One of the most heartfelt and inspiring moments of the Startup World Cup Championship 2026 was the presentation of the prestigious Father of the Year, Mother of the Year, Grandfather of the Year, and Grandmother of the Year Awards provided by MiniBoss Business School - leading educational institutions for the next generation of business leaders. These special recognitions honour the extraordinary parents and grandparents whose unwavering dedication helps shape the entrepreneurs, innovators, and leaders of tomorrow.
Every successful child stands behind a family that believes in growth rather than comfort, encouragement rather than indulgence, and resilience rather than fear of failure.
Outstanding parents understand that true love is not expressed by removing every obstacle from a child's path. Instead, it is demonstrated by helping children develop strength, discipline, confidence, creativity, and responsibility. They support their children when they face setbacks, inspire them to continue after every defeat, celebrate every small improvement, and encourage them to keep striving toward excellence.
At MiniBoss Business School believes that success is not measured solely by winning championships. Success is found in the courage to keep trying, to improve every project, to transform mistakes into lessons, and to never stop creating. The greatest parents recognize these moments and know how to encourage their children to become stronger after every challenge.
The young entrepreneurs who represent their countries at the Startup World Cup Championship are much more than talented students. They are the result of years of family support, wise mentorship, and an educational environment that develops entrepreneurial thinking, leadership, innovation, and social responsibility.

Their participation on the international stage is already a remarkable achievement. It reflects the commitment of families who invest not only in the future of their own children but also in the future of society.
The parents and grandparents we honour today are helping to raise a new intellectual elite—young people capable of creating innovative products, launching successful companies, solving global challenges, and improving the quality of life in their communities and around the world.

This simple yet fundamental philosophy lies at the heart of the educational model delivered through the international franchise network of MiniBoss Business School, part of the International Business Academy Consortium. By combining entrepreneurial education with a supportive global community of parents, educators, and business leaders, this model creates something far greater than individual success.

It builds powerful international communities of families who share common values, inspire one another, and work together to redefine what education can achieve. Small educational innovations, multiplied across countries and generations, become the driving force behind major social transformation and a genuine revolution in education.
Today, families from many nations are united by one common mission—to prepare children not simply for jobs, but for leadership; not simply for careers, but for creating value; not simply for success, but for making a meaningful contribution to humanity.
We sincerely congratulate every recipient of the Father of the Year, Mother of the Year, Grandfather of the Year, and Grandmother of the Year Awards.
Your patience, wisdom, encouragement, and unconditional belief in the next generation are changing lives. Through your example, you are helping raise confident innovators, responsible entrepreneurs, ethical leaders, and compassionate global citizens.
