The Lorenzo Cagnoni Award once again stands out as one of the most significant moments of SIGEP WORLD. The award ceremony took place yesterday, 16 January, at 5:00 pm at the Vision Plaza, celebrating the most innovative start-ups and products capable of interpreting and anticipating the evolution of the international foodservice industry.
The award was created to recognise ideas, technologies and solutions that stand out for their innovation, sustainability, digitalisation and entrepreneurial vision, helping to shape new scenarios across the entire supply chain. It is a tribute to the spirit and legacy of Lorenzo Cagnoni, a long-standing advocate of excellence, research and development in the exhibition and industrial sectors.
Developed in partnership with ANGI – Associazione Nazionale Giovani Innovatori and ICE – Italian Trade Agency, the Lorenzo Cagnoni Award strengthens SIGEP WORLD’s role as a leading international platform for the launch of new trends and cutting-edge solutions, connecting companies, innovators and global markets.
