"This year more than 200 applications arrived from all over Italia, 32 of which from Lazio alone, with a considerable growth compared to the first year: these are figures that give a sense of how the Premio Film Impresa is increasingly welcomed by the entire Italian entrepreneurial system," said Giuseppe Biazzo, president of Unindustria. "The films in the competition," he added, "represent all production sectors, from manufacturing to advanced services, and are made by small, medium and large companies and multinationals, demonstrating the ability of audiovisuals to tell the story of excellence, work and innovation of the entire national production system."

"The Film Impresa Award every year reminds us that culture is one of the strategic engines of our economy. Companies that choose to tell their story through cinema help to make their vision known, which often fails to emerge, and to strengthen the idea of the company not only as a productive entity, but also as a cultural and social actor," said Leopoldo Destro, delegate of the Confindustria president for Transport, Logistics and Tourism Industry.

"The corporate film is not a commercial and it is not simple corporate communication: it is a story, often surprising, that allows us to enter the life of companies and discover the people, the stories and the values that animate them. This fourth edition of the Premio Film Impresa also showed how much this language is growing and how strong the dialogue between the world of audiovisuals and that of industry is today,' said Premio Film Impresa President Giampaolo Letta. "This fourth edition is perhaps the first in which we had the clear sensation that Premio Film Impresa has become a real point of reference for those who make business films: many authors participated precisely with the desire to see their works selected and presented at our event," stated Premio Film Impresa Artistic DirectorMario Sesti.
