LUMSON's XPaper is awarded the 2022 “Premio dei Premi”
Matteo Moretti, President of Lumson, flew to Rome today to participate
in the official awards ceremony for the “Premio dei Premi” National
Prize for Innovation, a prestigious award established in 2007 with the
decree of the President of the Council of Ministers granted by the
President of the Italian Republic at the COTEC Foundation.
Among the
winners of the 12th edition was Lumson with its XPaper, the innovative
paper airless packaging presented to industry professionals at Cosmoprof
Bologna and already a winner at Cosmopack Awards 2022.
The official
ceremony which took place at the National Research Council, was attended
by Maria Cristina Messa, Minister of University and Research, Renato
Brunetta, Minister for Public Administration, and Vittorio Colao,
Minister for Technological Innovation and Digital Transition.
At the
end of the ceremony, a visibly emotional Matteo Moretti wanted to thank
all those who believed in this project and who, through their work,
contributed to this achievement.
“I want to dedicate this award to
all those who, like me, believed in this project from the very
beginning. An expression of know-how, creativity, innovation, and
functionality following the theme of sustainability. Factors that are at
the base of the competitiveness and success of many Italian companies
around the world.
This award means a lot to us because it
acknowledges the value of our work but it also means a lot for our
sector because it signals an important step forward towards
sustainability, demonstrates the value of collaboration between
companies in the supply chain, highlights the central role of research
in the manufacturing industry and finally, because it shows how a
“simple” material like paper can, through technology and creativity, be
transformed into a sophisticated material capable of enhancing both a
container and its contents”.
The “Premio dei Premio”
The
objective of the prestigious award is to support the innovative
capacity of those in business, education and the university world,
public research, public administration, and the tertiary sector, but
also to incentivize innovators to continue pursuing creative avenues in
order to develop a culture of change while at the same time, raising the
awareness of citizens and in particular young people, to research and
innovation.
The award is given out annually to players that operate
in the industry, design, the tertiary sector, public administration and
in universities that have stood out for the originality of the
innovations they’ve developed with regards to products, processes, and
business models and are chosen from among the winners of the innovation
awards assigned at the national level by the main business and
professional associations in the industrial, artisan, and tertiary
sectors (ABI, ADI, CNA, Confcommercio, Confindustria, PNICube), as well
as by large Italian industrial groups, the Ministry of Education, the
Minister for Technological Innovation and Digital Transition, and the
Department of Public Administration.
