FROZEN! dti Innovation Award supported by AFC and anuga
At Anuga in Cologne on October 8th at 1:30 PM, dti will present the FROZEN! dti Innovation Award to recognize innovations in the frozen food industry. This award is presented for the first time in conjunction with the global celebration of "100 years of deep-freezing." Partners for this award are the AFC Consulting Group AG (AFC) and Anuga. The festive award ceremony will be part of the 1st International Frozen Food Conference "Frozen food as a game changer", where international experts will discuss the potential of frozen food.
The FROZEN! dti Innovation Award acknowledges ideas that, in the spirit of frozen food "inventor" Clarence Birdseye, boldly address challenges in climate protection, energy efficiency, digitalization, automation, logistics optimization, and more sustainable supply chains, or have developed a new, innovative frozen product that meets the needs of today's society. Innovative ideas from start-ups take center stage at the premiere of the 2023 Innovation Award, but novel approaches from established companies were also considered.
A distinguished jury has selected three finalists from the submissions, who will have the opportunity to pitch their ideas publicly during the award ceremony. The jury will then decide the final winner live. Award ceremony guests will also choose the audience favorite through online voting.
Participation is free for trade fair visitors.
