Innovation<br />
is everyone’s business<br />
THE INNOVATION TROPHY BLENDS EXPERTISE, COMPETENCE AND KNOW-HOW WITH CREATIVITY, PASSION AND<br />
ENERGY. GROUP INNOVATION CHAMPION BRIGITTE LAURENT REVIEWS WITH US WHY SOLVAY ORGANIZES AN<br />
INNOVATION TROPHY, HOW IT HAS EVOLVED OVER TIME, AND THE MAIN EMPHASIS OF THE 2006 EDITION.<br />
The Solvay Innovation Trophy, a recurring landmark in<br />
the Group’s drive for Innovation, will be held this year for<br />
the fourth time. Each successive Innovation Trophy since<br />
1999 has been larger than its predecessor and attracted<br />
growing attention, both inside and outside the Group.<br />
Organizing it is a project in itself, involving a number of employees<br />
throughout the year. Despite its potent symbolism for the entire<br />
Innovation drive, this Group event is in fact only just one of a<br />
series of initiatives. To mention trophies only, we have the Trophy<br />
and Creativity Awards in the Chemicals Sector, the Pioneer Awards<br />
in Pharmaceuticals, various site-level Innovation Trophies, Innodrive<br />
at Pipelife, and the Solvin Award for innovative PVC clients, all<br />
contributing to dynamizing our creative capacity.<br />
