SwissregioTV.ch receives the Idee-Suisse Innovation Award

Every year, the Idee-suisse Association for Ideas and Innovation Research awards the Swiss Innovation Prize to promote economic opportunities for the future. On Thursday, the prize was awarded to SwissregioTV. The citation states that the company, which was founded in August 2005, is "Switzerland's first internet-based regional television company to offer regional moving images via the internet". The company combines new technologies and interactive communication with the need for regional identity in an innovative way. At the same time, it also offers SMEs a way into moving image communication. SwissregioTV sees the award as an "incentive for hopefully many others to also take an active and entrepreneurial approach to the new communication tool IPTV", as the press release states. SwissregioTV was founded by Gossau-based Decatron Media AG, Swissregiobank and Mediapolis AG für Wirtschafts- und Kommunikationsmanagement.
