On 12 April, Budimex made its debut in the Łukasiewicz INNOVATOR index, created by listed companies that develop their potential in cooperation with the Polish scientific sector.
The INNOVATOR Index is a joint promotional project of the Łukasiewicz Research Network (Łukasiewicz) and the Warsaw Stock Exchange (WSE), aimed at presenting and promoting listed companies that develop their potential in cooperation with the scientific sector, represented by an integrated network of research institutes – the Łukasiewicz Research Network. GPW Benchmark S.A. is responsible for the calculation and distribution of the Index value to data distributors, while Łukasiewicz and WSE are responsible for the method of constructing and calculating the Index and its publication.
The index presents truly innovative companies and is a real measure of their activity in this area. Therefore, it is an excellent promotional tool for its participants, and a reliable source of information about research and implementation activities of companies listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange for investors. Among the companies of the new index are also our partners in research projects, such as PKN Orlen and Polska Grupa Energetyczna – says Dariusz Blocher – President of Budimex SA.
In addition to Budimex, the first portfolio of the index also includes the following companies: AC, CCC, Grupa Azoty, Lubawa, PGE, PKN ORLEN, Polwax, Tauron, Vigo, XTPL, 4Mass, Blirt and Scope Fluidics.
By promoting cooperation with Polish science, we want to strengthen the gene of modernity and innovation in companies listed on the stock exchange. We have a team of over 4500 creative people (scientists and engineers) who are unreachable for other entities on the Polish R+D market, who create solutions for business looking for innovation with passion. The Łukasiewicz INNOVATOR Index already brings together entities of various sizes and from various industries. At the same time , it has the potential to be much broader, because Łukasiewicz’s 4 research directions: health, smart mobility, digital transformation, and sustainable economy and energy can work for the success of many business ventures – says Piotr Dardziński, President of the Łukasiewicz Research Network.
Currently, Budimex is conducting several dozen innovative and research projects in the field of building materials, construction transport, robotics, thermal modernisation and digital services related to the maintenance of infrastructure, m.in. Safeway, Bimmer, HIMA Asphalt Roads, or self-repairing roads.
