"In search of innovation, novelty"

The IPA Innovation Competition reflects the latest process engineering technologies.

The aim of this competition is to bring focus on the strength of innovation on the food industry as demonstrated by the equipment, solutions and technologies offered by exhibitors at IPA.

Exhibitors can declare their new products free of charge.

Every year nearly 150 new products are declared by the IPA exhibitors, and relayed in the trade press.

The committee, made up of trade journalists and IPA experts, was particularly attentive to the eco-friendly design of products and processes, as well as to product quality improvement, food safety and traceability, the improvement of working conditions, productivity and industrial performance.

This competition, recognized by the entire profession and reserved exclusively to IPA exhibitors, awards 6 prizes:

• The “Process and Equipment” Award
• The “Research and Technology” Award
• The “Process Management and Control” Award
• The “Packaging” Award
• The “Special Jury” Award
• The French Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Fisheries Award

The IPA Innovation Competition Awards were officially presented to the 2010 award winners in the presence of Mr Rouault, Interdepartmental Delegate.
