On May 29th, Anastasija and Martin Lesjak received the Quality Choice Prize 2025 from the European Society for Quality Research (ESQR) at this year’s convention in Stockholm, Sweden.

This distinguished award celebrates organizations and individuals worldwide who demonstrate exceptional commitment to quality management through ethical and innovative approaches. Headquartered in Lausanne, Switzerland, the ESQR honors excellence across sectors and fosters a global culture of quality.

At the core of this recognition is the transdisciplinary practice at INNOCAD architecture, 13&9 Design, and the ScienceDesignLab, which values innovation, collaboration, quality research, excellence in practice, and responsibility – bridging design and science to improve well-being and sustainability in the built environment.

The CEOs of both firms attended the event, which honored individuals, companies, organizations, and universities from five continents for their commitment to quality awareness, best practices, excellence, leadership, technological innovation, and achievements in quality worldwide. Throughout its history, the ESQR has positively impacted companies, organizations, universities, healthcare centers, and public administrations from 144 countries.

In his speech, architect Martin Lesjak paid tribute to his team at INNOCAD architecture, including associates from academia, industry, and international organizations, while Dr. Anastasija Lesjak expressed her gratitude for the colleagues and collaborators, as well as the sustainable network and long-term partnerships of 13&9 Design.
