Every year nearly 150 new products are declared by the exhibitors and presented by IPA to the whole trade press which gives them wide coverage.

From 2006, when you declare your new products, you automatically participate free of charge in the IPA INNOVATION COMPETITION Award, a competition exclusively reserved for exhibitors. This industry-recognized competition gives 5 awards in the following 5 competition categories:

• "Process Equipment" Award, MULTIFILIERE special
• "Process Equipment" Award, MATIC special
• "Ancillary Equipment / Process Control" Award, MULTIFILIERE special
• "Ancillary Equipment / Process Control" Award, MATIC special

  The Judging Panel reserves the right to give a special award, outside the above categories, to a specifically outstanding innovation

The awards are given by a panel of experts composed of members of the trade press and institutions. The awards presentation takes place on the first day of the exhibition so that every award winner can promote his distinction with the media and visitors throughout the exhibition.
