On April 7th, Vincent Tauzia, CEO and co-founder of COGNIK, was honored during the INSEAD XII Trophies ceremony hosted by former French Finance Minister Jacques Sautter.

For the last decades, this prize has been rewarding entrepreneurs who have succeeded in creating, building or taking over medium-sized or large companies, bringing them onto the road of growth and profitability. The newly created category for start-up companies rewards innovative entrepeneurs.

The jury, made up of businessmen and directors from the INSEAD, based their decision on several criteria such as growth, profitability, capacity to create innovative solutions as well as the perpetuity of the company. (complete list of the jury members available here)

Vincent Tauzia declared “I feel very honored to receive this award. We have been working very hard with our team to bring first products to market. It is a further boost to our motivation and the recognition of all our efforts.”
