The quarterly business and finance magazine Industry Felix Magazine, a free supplement with The 24 Hour Sun, was founded in 2019 based on the success of the Industria Felix – L’Italia che competes Prize, established in 2015 in Puglia, consolidated in 2017 in Milan, and now developed in almost all Italian regions and nationwide.
MENTION OF THE FELIX INDUSTRY AWARD
The Award, organized by the periodical IFM (published by Centro Studi Industria Felix s.r.l.), is among the first awards to be given on the basis of a survey of Italian companies’ financial statements, thus on incontrovertible numbers. The summary of the survey, extracted against an objective budget algorithm sorted by decreasing Mol, is submitted to a Scientific Committee composed of high-profile economists, bankers, entrepreneurs and managers chaired by delegates from Luiss Guido Carli University and Confindustria (event partners). The Scientific Committee assigns the “High Financial Reporting Honors,” as the awards are defined for companies, reserved for corporations headquartered in Italy that perform at the management level, are financially reliable against the Cerved Group Score and, in some cases, are sustainable.
BACKGROUND ON THE INDUSTRIA FELIX STUDY CENTER
The goal of the Industria Felix Study Center is to network virtuous companies and tell the story of Italy that competes through events, press releases, and the quarterly Industria Felix Magazine, which only after its first issue attracted the interest of the 24 Ore Group. The Industria Felix 2020 Prize enjoys the media partnership of Ansa and Il Sole 24 Ore and is produced in collaboration with Cerved, Banca Mediolanum, Mediolanum Private Banking, Grant Thornton, Lidl Italia, and Sustainable Development.
