The 2025 winners of the Trophées TPM
On October 8, growth and virtuous economic innovation (Economy, tourism, sports) were rewarded.
THE 2025 WINNERS: For the 4th consecutive year, the Métropole Toulon Provence Méditerranée has awarded the Trophées TPM 2025, which celebrate innovation, talent, and commitment. They honor those who, through their audacity and vision, contribute to the excellence and influence of the metropolitan area on a national or international scale. TPM, along with TVT Innovation, launched the Trophées TPM in 2022 to reward the gems of the region.
TPM also distinguishes personalities whose commitment and initiatives transform the region.
It was the French-Venezuelan writer Miguel Bonnefoy, who has lived in Toulon for 3 years and received the Prix d'honneur at these awards, who opened the evening. Winner of the Grand Prix du roman de l'Académie Française and the Prix Femina for his novel "Le Rêve du jaguar" - inspired by the life of his grandfather, an orphan who became a surgeon in Venezuela - Miguel Bonnefoy captivated the audience with his humanist and hopeful speech.
During the evening, the victory of Célia Cancan, TPM female athlete of the year and gold medalist in Peru at the World Junior Judo Championships, was announced. Finally, the company DEMD, which produces the series Tom et Lola, received an honorary award.
