Our brilliant CEO, Dr. Ludovic Krundel, graced the event of France China Committee (FCC) Innovation Awards in Beijing this weekend.
The Innovation Awards aim to reward outstanding innovative projects that are developed by bicultural Franco-Chinese teams OR in a global Franco-Chinese context. These teams may have diverse backgrounds: from universities, French “Grandes Ecoles”, laboratories, R&D centers and/or French and/or Chinese companies, etc.
The candidates are expected to conduct innovative technologies, products, or services, with a significant impact in social, environmental, industrial and/or cultural terms :
There are three categories of Awards: R&D, Innovative Product, and Innovative Initiative, although not all categories are awarded yearly.
1. R&D (Research & Development) Award recognizes and honors innovations that have not yet been introduced to the market.
2. Innovative Product Award recognizes and honors innovations that are already on sale on the market and for which a patent has been filed before the candidates submit their applications.
3. Innovative Initiative Award recognizes and honors any other innovation, including ideas, software, business models, organizational methods or similar procedures already implemented within an organization.
This is under the patronage of French Ministry of Economy. Roland Lescure serves as the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industrial and Energy Sovereignty of France.
