The AFNOR Group is a partner of the #LetsgoFrance movement and its Awards. One of the winners will benefit from a half-day coaching session to identify how voluntary standardization can support its development, in France and internationally.
For Olivier Peyrat, Managing Director of the AFNOR Group and member of the grand jury, “any sign of recognition, such as being a winner of the #LetsgoFrance Trophies, helps companies to take certain steps more quickly. And that includes international markets, where you need to make your expertise visible and build confidence. Voluntary standards are an invaluable tool in this respect. It’s in every organization’s interest to take part in writing them, and to use them. Voluntary standardization must be an integral part of every company’s international strategy.
Innovators answered the call!
The2nd edition of the #LetsgoFrance Awards has scored its first victory: 445 applications were received, more than double the number from the previous year! Signs of France’s vitality and creativity, these 64 companies and associations were chosen for their innovative character, use of technology, societal and environmental impact, ability to be part of a sector and add value to it, and international development potential. “These 64 semi-finalists literally offer 64 solutions to socio-economic problems. We wanted to put them to the vote so that the public would realize that France is on the move. And that’s the role of the #LetsgoFrance Trophies: to detect talent that innovates in the service of France, while proposing a response to global challenges, to inspire new initiatives that are just as remarkable. The mobilization of Internet users for these innovators would be a second victory”, comments the #LetsgoFrance team.
