About Innovation Awards
For the first time, we will present the Innovation Awards at Techtextil North America and Texprocess Americas, to honor outstanding performance in the fields of research, new materials, products and technologies, applications, and new developments in the field of sustainability.
An independent jury, assembled by Messe Frankfurt Inc., will decide which of the participants is to receive an Innovation Award and be honored at Techtextil North America co-located with Texprocess Americas.
The jury's selection will be based on such criteria as innovation, novelty, information and evidentially, business relevance, readiness for marketing, potential, and creativity. The jury will be free to weigh the individual criteria when making their evaluation.
To reflect these stages, the Techtextil North America Innovation Awards are presented in the following categories:
- New Concept
