Inspired by Gaetano Marzotto, a well-known businessman of the 1900s, who knowingly combined business and society, culture and the territory, the Gaetano Marzotto Price is looking for new business people and builders of the future who are able to combine innovation, business and society.

With this words, Donato Iacovone, Ernst & Young Managing Partner Italy, Spain, and Portugal, announced Genuino Blockchain Technologies Inc., as the winners of EY Special Prize, during the Gaetano Marzotto Awards Ceremony at the Maxxi National Arts Museum in Rome last night.

Entirely based on IOTA Tangle distributed ledger technology and integrated IoT sensors, Genuino applies IDoT to the production process with the objective to increase the authenticity of data provided, incentivising an active and aware supply chain ecosystem, and drastically reduce the possibility of manipulation of it.

Ernst & Young special prize will include a skilled mentor, chosen from growth coaches with the aim of defining and implementing a successful business model and identifying a Go-To-Market strategy; technology assistance to develop digital transformation and system integration; workshops based on EY international case studies; the opportunity of presenting plans to an international network of EY entrepreneurs and business meeting support. Prize value of 50,000 euros for the above assistance programme.

I would like to thank the EY blockchain Team for this great opportunity, confident they will be the right partner to guide us in our journey to create a world built on trust. A special thanks also to our Team for the hard work and passion they have fully demonstrated so far, Eleonora — our CEO & Co-Founder commented.

Genuino, incorporated in USA and operating in Italy and USA, is actually on a first seed capital raising stage. Great partnerships have been established so far, and the Marzotto Award will for sure be the boost that will drive the first capital injection needed to implement the pilot cases in the pipeline.
