Commodities Innovations Awards 2024 | Agefi.com
In an era marked by numerous economic, geopolitical and energy transition challenges, the Commodities industry plays a central role. Despite the significant impact of traders in metals & ores, agriculture or energy, their work and added value are underestimated by the public. To address this, Ampersand World will organize this fall the first “Commodities Innovations Awards”. The aim of the awards is to highlight the excellence of trading companies in the Swiss ecosystem, their innovations and the solutions developed to tackle the many challenges facing the global economy.
Celebrating innovation

Strengthening the ecosystem
The awards aim to create a distinctive forum for industry players, regulatory bodies, NGOs, and the general public to convene and exchange ideas.
