Imowi Wins Best Innovative Operator Award at Conecta Latam 2025 with Valid-Supported Innovation
The award recognizes imowi’s strong technological growth and its innovative approach to advancing the regional digital ecosystem.
A key milestone behind this recognition was the launch of imowi’s quarter-size SIM card, developed in collaboration with Valid. The solution reduces plastic usage by 75%, lowering environmental impact while improving logistics efficiency and point-of-sale distribution.
Fully compliant with the ISO 7816 standard, the compact SIM format optimizes handling, storage, and transportation, enabling more agile, cost-efficient, and sustainable supply chains. This initiative demonstrates how technology-driven innovation can deliver measurable operational and environmental benefits.
This award also highlights the strength of the collaboration between imowi and Valid. Through close coordination across Production, Logistics, Technical, Commercial, and Customer Service teams, Valid supports imowi in turning innovation into scalable, real-world deployments that Benefit both operators and end customers.
Gabriel Casaliggi, Vice President of CATEL, commented: “Innovation occurs when technology is combined with organizations that learn faster than change.”
This recognition reinforces Valid’s role as a trusted technology partner for mobile operators worldwide, helping customers deploy sustainable, efficient and future-ready connectivity solutions.

Environmental compensation
In order to make a significant difference and bring a real benefit to our environment and planet, Valid decided to create, together with Plastic Bank, an environmental compensation program.
Plastic Bank is a social enterprise empowering a regenerative society. They build ethical recycling ecosystems in coastal communities and reprocess the materials for reintroduction into the global supply chain as Social PlasticTM.
Their collectors receive a compensation for the materials they collect which helps them to provide basic family necessities such as groceries, cooking fuel, school tuition, and health insurance.
Their certified blockchain platform secures the entire transaction and provides real-time data visualization – allowing for transparency, traceability, and rapid scalability.
Compensation Program
With this goal, Plastic Bank is relying on companies like Valid to support the collection process of the plastic in order to:
Mitigate the impact of many corporations and potentially reduce, offset or decrease the plastic footprint of their operations.
Improve the social and economic situations in different regions of the world by creating job opportunities through plastic waste collection.
Supports environmental stewardship and circular economy.
For every SIM card that our customers sell to their consumers under this program, Valid will collect one plastic bottle from the environment.
