Paris-based Lectra, a developer of software and cutting systems for soft goods industries, was recently honored by the Invest In France Agency (IFA) with its 2007 Investor In Japan Award. The award recognizes outstanding French entrepreneurs who are establishing and leading dynamic, growing businesses in Japan. Robert Agnes, president, Lectra Asia-Pacific, and several Lectra Japan managers attended the France-Japan Investment Awards Ceremony held recently in Osaka, Japan, and were on hand to receive the award.
