The 2017 IBL Tecoma Award will be held on Thursday, June 15

The nominees for the 14th Tecoma Award in Mauritius have been officially presented. The conglomerate IBL Together, the first Mauritian Group and third in the Indian Ocean, is the Master partner of this edition. Called “IBL Tecoma Award”, this prize is an initiative that aims to support entrepreneurship in Mauritius and the region.

 

 

“Once again, L’Eco austral has identified five Mauritian entrepreneurs who will be judged on their performance. Although they operate in different economic sectors and have a strong presence in Mauritius, they are all also very internationally oriented. This is a symbol of the new face of Mauritian entrepreneurship, conquering and open to the world”, says Alain Foulon, group CEO of L’Eco austral.

As for Arnaud Lagesse, group CEO of IBL, he explains the reason for the partnership for the Tecoma Award, which has now become the IBL Tecoma Award.

“Our group fully recognizes the values put forward for this event, namely the support to entrepreneurs. As IBL has reached a certain size, it is normal that we give back this energy to them who are the heart of the economy of Mauritius and the region. And on 15 June, it is not one winner who will be rewarded, but all of us here present!” – Arnaud Lagesse.
