Axis Communications has been awarded the Prix d'Excellence 2013 by the Swedish Chamber of Commerce in France. Axis receives the award for its successes in the French market, for its innovative strategy and for its significant contribution to developing the security market.
"We are extremely honoured and happy to receive this award, which is a recognition of our successes in the important French market. There is a large focus on security issues in France, and Axis' products facilitate a smarter, safer and more secure society," says Bodil Sonesson, Vice-President Global Sales, Axis Communications.
The jury's choice was based on the fact that Axis has made significant efforts to educate the French security market, thanks to its innovative strategy, its exceptional ability to listen to customers, its agility and its open approach to a traditionally closed market. Axis works closely with hundreds of software and hardware developers in order to ensure integration of its technology, and in this way, aims to improve safety and security for everyone.
The Swedish Chamber of Commerce in France's 'price of excellence' Le Prix d'Excellence award was established to increase the interest in Swedish companies and its products and services, to create an opportunity for the French-Swedish business community to meet, to spread knowledge about Swedish companies' know-how, innovation ability and working methods and to spread knowledge about Sweden and the Swedish business community in France.
Today, Axis has a strong and firmly established presence in France. Axis has a network of 4 000 partners that receive technology and sales training from Axis, which ensures a high level of service to end-users. Axis' research and development department, based in Southern Sweden, employs French engineers who participate in the development of global security solutions.
Axis established a presence in France in 1996, and in the same year, the company invented and launched the first network camera, which revolutionised the traditional camera surveillance market and initiated the shift from analogue to digital technology.
The prize-giving ceremony took place on Monday, 2 December, in the evening during the yearly gala event for the Swedish-French business community in Paris, France, organised by the Swedish Chamber of Commerce in France, in collaboration with the Swedish Embassy.
