Recognition for HeiQ co-founder
Vienna-based knowledge exchange and business media and event company Wemorrow has selected HeiQ chief executive and co-founder, Carlo Centonze to be part of a programme it calls Forward20.
This programme recognises innovators for their contributions to what Wemorrow calls “the sustainable transformation of the economy”. It has four focus areas: food, energy, buildings and textiles.
Forward20 is not a ranking or a certification, the Austrian company says, but instead comprises “a handpicked selection of people who are working to make the economy better”.
It invited Carlo Centonze to be part of the group in recognition of HeiQ’s work to develop Aeoniq, the new cellulose filament yarn made from sustainable raw materials that it launched in 2021.
Other well known industry figures that form part of Forward20 include the chief executives of Sympatex and Kelheim Fibres, Dr Rüdiger Fox and Craig Barker, respectively.
