For the 2022 edition, the organization of the competition is changing in order to always better showcase all the candidate solutions, before, during and after the shows. Registration is now open, and manufacturers have until May 10, 2022 to apply.
The best of Innovation
Beyond the competition, the Innovation Awards are above all a device that allows for the wider dissemination of the innovations that manufacturers are launching on the market. It brings them both visibility and notoriety. Being a candidate for the Innovation Awards guarantees to benefit from several communication vectors, and this over time, from the launch of registrations until after the fairs.
Innovation is also the priority center of interest for users regardless of their profession or profile (craftsman, SME, majors, etc.) and a real driving force for construction manufacturers.
At each edition, the Innovation Awards demonstrate the dynamism of the sector. In 2019, visitors to the three shows were able to discover 140 innovations.
