Cosberg wins the IxI Award, ImpresexInnovazione. Again.
Today, it’s a source of pride and great satisfaction for us because Cosberg is the winner of the XIII edition of the Business Prize for Innovation (Premio IxI), for the Award category.
This is a particularly prestigious award which is officially given “to Italian companies that want to emerge and strengthen their competitive capabilities, relying on the level of innovation achieved, not only limited to product and process but that enhances the organization and culture of the company itself”
Our CEO Michele Viscardi today, Thursday 21 September 2023, is in Rome for the award ceremony, accompanied by his brother Paolo (board member and Engineering Director) and our Honorary President Gianluigi Viscardi.
The satisfaction is great and shared by the whole company because the candidacy for such a prestigious recognition has required to demonstrate with objective criteria our level of innovation. This involved a lot of internal work, which was followed by a severe and scrupulous evaluation by the evaluators, who visited our company and had interviews with different people on the team in order to collect useful elements for their analysis.
This is the second time that Cosberg has won this Award. In fact, already in 2012, our company had won the IxI Award and the related Prize of Awards associated with it. After 11 years, we have received confirmation that our "innovation making way" is itself innovative. Furthermore, although Cosberg is a SME, it focuses on this aspect to guarantee added value for itself and its customers, investing every year a good portion of its turnover (over 10%) in Research, Development and Innovation.
For the evaluation, the organizers rely on the precious collaboration of «experts in the field of Research and Innovation and Finance for Research and Innovation made available free of charge by the partners». The Award stands out for being, in Europe, the first award for Innovation having adopted the parameters of the European Foundation for Quality Management (EFQM), a model of excellence tested and recognized internationally.
This edition of the Confindustria IxI Award was created in collaboration with the Giuseppina Mai Foundation and Audi, with the support of Il Sole 24 Ore and Fondimpresa, with the contribution of Prima Sole Components and with the technical support of the Italian Quality Award Association (APQI).
