bauma Innovation Award 2019: Fifteen innovations in the final run
08.02.2019It's heading for the final. The fifteen candidates for the bauma Innovation Award 2019 have been selected. They were presented to the public at the Media Dialogue on 28 and 29 January in Munich. The specialist journalists had the opportunity to cast their votes there. Not an easy task, because the companies and institutes have already qualified over two selection rounds. So, each of them deserves the prize.
The Innovation Award will be given for the twelfth time in the categories Machine, Components/Digital Systems, Construction Work/Construction Method/Construction Process, Research/Science and Design. A total of 138 entries from Germany and abroad competed.
The five winners will be determined after the media dialogue and will be honored in the Court Church of all Saints in the Munich Residence on the eve of bauma, which will take place from 8 to 15 April at the exhibition grounds in Munich.
The jury evaluates the entries based on criteria that are relevant to the industry and its future. This includes how practice-oriented a solution is or what economic potential it offers. Increasing digitization plays just as important a role as environmental aspects, sustainability, resource efficiency or the humanization of the workplace. In the Design category, aesthetics and appearance or the combination of form and function are also decisive criteria.
