Yet another award
These awards, handed out during the ceremony, are the second time Cortix has been recognised in 2008. ANVAR innovative company status was granted on 24 July by OSEA, a general interest organisation that supports entrepreneurs at all stages of their company's development. Cortix is now eligible, for 3 years, for FCPI investment (Fonds commun de placement dans l'innovation - Innovation mutual fund).
Cortix floated on the stock exchange: nearly 1 year ago
Hassane Hamza, president and founder of Cortix recognises it: the floating on Alternext allowed it to raise funds to allow the business to grow. Cortix is adapting to react to the ever-changing current predictions: with more flexibility in its development and recruitment plans, better productivity and most importantly paying more attention to gaining customer loyalty backed with a reactive marketing and commercial strategy.
The recent Vanson Bourne study commissioned by Microsoft of nearly 2.6 million SMEs in eleven countries, across all types of business confirms it: France is lagging behind. Only 58% of French SMEs think that a powerful technological infrastructure is critical or important to their business. Over 80% of SMEs questioned think that professional communications, such as a website, e-mail etc is necessary for the growth of their business.
