The European Business Awards has announced today that SMI S.p.A. is to represent Italy as a National Champion in the prestigious 2012/13 Awards programme.
SMI has been selected as one of just 8 National Champions and will now compete for the coveted Ruban D'Honneur status in the next round of the competition. This year, for the first time, entrants in the European Business Awards submitted a video case study uploaded onto the European Business Awards website for an online voting mechanism. Over 35,000 votes were cast with one company automatically going through to the National Champion round. In addition, an esteemed panel of judges chose another 7 organisations that exhibited innovation, business excellence and sustainability to represent Italy.
