  The Société d'Encouragement pour l'Industrie Nationale was founded in 1801 by Napoleon Bonaparte, First Consul, and J.A. Chaptal who was its first president. The Society of Encouragement was intended to stimulate industrial development and improvement of agriculture, arts and manufacturing in France. Its means of action consisted of distribution of reward money &/or medals awarded to those who invented, perfected, machines or processes relevant to the various branches of industry etc that were introduced in France & successfully tested.
