Nomination "All Star Innovation Award"

Today I am pleased to announce that Melotte has been nominated for the ALL STAR INNOVATION AWARD.  An international jury of Managing Directors of Chambers of Commerce worldwide will decide which Belgian company will receive this precious honour.

The jury is asked to watch an online company movie and is invited for an online voting afterwards by answering questions such as: “Which of these innovative companies inspires you the most?” and “Which company has the biggest economic potential”?

 In 1950 the World Chamber Federation (WCF) was first established by ICC as the international Bureau of Chambers of Commerce with today more than 12 000 Chamber of Commerce member organisations worldwide. Together they represent over 40 million companies. WCF is a non-political, non-governmental body representing interests of local, national, regional, bilateral and transnational chambers of commerce and industry. WCF strengthens links between chambers, enabling them to improve performance as well as discover new products and services to offer their members.

Melotte (together with the two other nominees Visys and Z-Group) will be presented at the Creativity World Forum on the 16^th and 17^th of November next offering a great opportunity to show the world how innovative our business is.

The VOKA – KvK Limburg has invited the Australian Mr Anthony Parkes, Director of the WCF, to present the ALL STAR INNOVATION AWARD personally on the mainstage of the Creativity World Forum in the Ethias Arena (Hasselt, Belgium) on 17.11.2011.

Let's cross our fingers that Melotte will be rewarded as innovative company with a huge worldwide potential.
