The Committee expresses its opinion on the evaluation and selection of the start-ups that will be present at Ecomondo, on the Start-Up prize awarded to the most innovative young companies, and on the Lorenzo Cagnoni Award for Green Innovation, which recognises the most innovative services/products presented at the show by exhibiting companies.
