HERMES AWARD
For what is now the twentieth time, Deutsche Messe is inviting entries for the HERMES AWARD – the world's leading industry prize – on the occasion of HANNOVER MESSE. It will be presented by Germany's Minister of Education and Research, Bettina Stark-Watzinger, at the opening ceremony of HANNOVER MESSE on 16 April. Companies and institutions exhibiting at HANNOVER MESSE were invited to apply for the prestigious award by 24 February.
An independent jury, composed of leading experts from politics, business, research and society will nominate three products for the HERMES AWARD , as well as for the HERMES Startup AWARD . These products will be selected from among the entries, and the jury will determine the winners from this group of finalists. The degree of technological innovation, benefits for industry, the environment and society, as well as cost-effectiveness and implementation maturity are key criteria in assessing which entry merits the award in each case.
The HERMES AWARD is HANNOVER MESSE's international technology prize and is presented each year at the event. All companies and institutions exhibiting at HANNOVER MESSE are eligible for entry, and the prize goes to the one whose product or solution demonstrates a particularly high degree of technological innovation. The HERMES AWARD is presented at the HANNOVER MESSE opening ceremony.
