"It's an honor to be the youngest company ever to be awarded the prestigious Tell Award and an even greater honor to be in the company of the other two winners, Incyte Corporation and Xylem who have given us a glimpse into our possible future," said Thomas S. Gustinis, 4th-IR CEO. "We were very pleased and humbled to accept this award from Ambassador Börlin," he continued.
