the essential
An unmissable event in the Tarn economy, the Septets ceremony was held in Albi, rewarding nine local gems, all of whom have in common their ability to innovate. Spotlight on the 2024 list.
The mentalist’s stunning performance Rémi Larrousse set the tone. The Septets evening held on October 29 in Pratgraussals was imbued with magic. Magic, but also “audacity, proximity and innovation”, the cardinal values of La Dépêche du Midi, recalled by Frédéric Touraille, Deputy Managing Director of the Group, who organized the event via his communications agency, recently renamed “Evelyne”. “We are here to highlight companies that are born, that develop, that innovate,” adds Jean-François Fortin, 1st vice-president of the CCI who presented his Special Prize.
The track record was rich in audacity and innovation. Like the ZigZag kayaks from Tarn Composites, winners of several Olympic medals and now the CCI Special Prize. From aeronautical subcontractor Dedienne Aerospace, buyer of the former FCT factory and awarded a special C2A prize. Or Sauces Morin, whose beautiful story received the special Agrifood prize from the Departmental Council.
Local and responsible
In the list, we also find J2R Dynamics (“Jeunes Pousses” prize awarded by Acom) which is developing an electric two-wheeler, Polux desk lamps (“Innovation” prize awarded by Pierre Fabre Laboratories) respectful of visual health, Wastendsea (“Sustainable Development” Prize awarded by Eurinvest) for its clothing made from ocean waste or BFM (“Industry” Prize awarded by Prévifrance), which provides cutting-edge tools to leather artisans.
In the “Commerce” category, the company Apiculture Remuaux is rewarded by Evelyne for its commitment to local and responsible beekeeping. Finally, the “Tourism & Leisure” prize from the Dépêche Group went to Pastel Prod SAS, which continues the production of pastel.
Following a public vote, Polux was elected “Company of the Year”.
From now on you will be able to find from tomorrow, in our columns, every day the portrait of one of the winners and the sponsor who presented him with his trophy.
