Zsófia Ghira and the CoolCo's wins IFKA Social Innovation Award

2023-08-03

The mission of the IFKA Social Innovation Award competition is to recognise innovative ideas and initiatives, regardless of their legal form, that offer new solutions to long-standing environmental, health, community and other problems for the local community, or that provide effective responses to the new challenges of today (energy crisis; refugee crisis; the challenges of digitalisation in the labour market, education and training; the ageing society, etc.).

Our colleague Zsófia Ghira won first place in the Business Social Innovation category of the IFKA Social Innovation Award with her project Coolco's - Cooling Corners and Corridors.

Congratulations for the initiative and the recognition!
