In 2004 and 2006, Forester Research cited France Telecom as one of the most innovative
operators on the European market.
In 2005, France Telecom was also awarded the "Best innovator" prize by AT Kearney
in the "Innovation and Technologies" category.
On October 25th, Orange received the "Best Innovator 2007" prize - for its "Organisational
innovation and Marketing/R&D/Networks/IT partnership". The prize was awarded by
strategic consulting firm A.T. Kearney in partnership with Les Echos.
This year's prize rewards the creation of the Orange Labs network, which now
forms the group's new chain of innovation and, more particularly, the creation
of the technocentre, which aims to improve the selection of the innovations developed
by the group and to reduce their time to market.
