Celebrating 22 years of Business Excellence Awards
The annual ICCO Canada Business Excellence Awards celebration recognizes outstanding leaders across various fields in the Italian Canadian business community.
The gala is a great opportunity to strengthen the bridge between Italy and Canada allowing participants to engage with top corporate executives, stakeholders and investors to build new potential partnerships and collaborations.
Throughout the years, the awards recognized the commitment to raising the bar and setting new standards of excellence in the business world.
The award recipients are not only excelling in their professional endeavours but are also contributing to their communities, promoting sustainability, and ethical standards in business practices:
A tribute to Corrado Paina
This year, the gala holds special significance as it honours the memory of the former Executive Director, Corrado Paina, who was instrumental in the success of the BEA for all these years. Throughout his tenure, Corrado tirelessly dedicated his life to serving the Italian-Canadian community, leaving an indelible mark on all who knew him.
"The 2024 BEA is a testament to Corrado's lasting influence. His unwavering commitment to fostering Italian-Canadian collaboration does and will continue to blossom. This year's winners would make him immensely proud. Their innovative spirit embodies his vision which serves as a constant source of inspiration for ICCO Canada's initiatives, like the CAMERA project." - Tony Altomare & Pat Pelliccione, ICCO Canada Co-Presidents
