Founded in 2001, the purpose of the ASMEP-ETI Awards is to promote and highlight the image, values and importance of French private businesses and medium-sized companies. The awards were founded on essential criteria such as innovation capacity, contribution to competitiveness and use of territory, international approach and openness, irreproachable quality management, the approach to transmit and measures taken to guarantee endurance and long-term growth of the company, and responsible management.
