Barcelona Chamber of Commerce Selects Ana Valles, Sorigue, as 2017 IWEC Awardee
Ana Valles, President, Sorigue, www.sorigue.com.en
Sorigue is a company founded in 1956, based on the extraction of aggregates and production of paving. The business was transformed with the acquisition of the construction and water treatment company, SCSA in 2008. Ana has managed Sorigue’s first strategic plan based on innovation, talent and positioning. Ana took over from the founder of the company in 2010 and has been leading the company’s sustainable growth. She has boosted the PLANTA project, a merger between the business group and the foundation where art, architecture, landscape, innovation and entrepreneurial creativity combine to create added value and return for the society.
Congratulations, Ana!
Ana will be attending the 10th Annual IWEC Conference, held on Nov. 12-14th in Redmond, Washington, to accept her award.
The 2017 IWEC conference, whose theme is “Connecting Women Businesses Globally: Accelerating Growth through Innovation & Technology”, celebrates a milestone: IWEC’s 10th anniversary. The conference is sponsored by Microsoft and hosted at their corporate headquarters in Washington state. The theme of the conference is very fitting not only for the venue, but for the emphasis that IWEC places on mentoring, education and cross-collaboration across borders. The conference agenda is a thought-provoking set of panels and presentations covering threads such as “Doing Business in the U.S.”, “Artificial Intelligence” and “Cybersecurity and Blockchain,” among others.
