Premio Impresa e Cultura

9th edition - 2005

The award ceremony of the 2005 Premio Impresa e Cultura was held in Milan on November 30th.
The First Prize was awarded to GlaxoSmithKline.
A record number of applications were submitted for the 2005 edition, with 194 competing businesses and a 50% increase over the past edition. This brings to 800 the total number of Italian companies investing in culture on a consistent basis, as opposed to occasional sponsorship projects.
The other important news of this year’s competition is the rise of a new kind of applicant: the business network or “spontaneous consortiums” of enterprises coming together especially for the purpose of shared cultural projects.
