What are the selection criteria for the Innovation Trophies ?

To reach a verdict on the competing innovations, the judging panel refers to a table of precise criteria: originality, user benefits, technical and economic benefits, environmental impact, safety and ergonomics are all examined carefully. Each application is submitted for evaluation by three experts, under the supervision of a lead expert. The panel has a period of two and a half months in which to reach its verdict, during which each member carries out several checks: visits to the applicant company's site, tests of the equipment, meetings with consultant experts, etc.

Who are the experts on the judging panel for the Innovation Trophies ? 

The best innovations are chosen by the VINITECH-SIFEL Scientific and Technical Committee, co-chaired by Pierre Gaillard and Christophe Riou.

Why enter the Innovation Trophies competition ? 

The trophies offer all the winning companies a considerable sales and marketing springboard. Showcasing of the winners during the show and publicity via the VINITECH-SIFEL communication tools and the press ensure effective reach to investor visitors and national and international media.

In addition, the Gold Trophy will be rewarded with an endowment (details to come).
