What is the Italian Excellence Award?
The Italian Excellence Award was created with the aim of rewarding Italians who deserve it, such as professionals, companies, entrepreneurs and Italian products, who deserve to be known for their history of passion and commitment.
In this way we try to support the ideals that are part of the Italian tradition, which, through this recognition, acquires new life and hope.
The process of acquiring the award develops through numerous events, from the candidacy to the nomination in Miami, in the third week of July, to the activities of institutional promotion by government and parliament.
The award increases reputation, consolidates brands and generates international business networks.
