once again this year, during Fi Europe colocated with Hi Europe at the beginning of December, show organiser Informa Markets will be recognising companies and organisations for groundbreaking novelties in the Fi Europe Innovation Awards.
These awards are regarded as the most prestigious in the food and beverage sector and honour innovators in nine categories based on the latest industry trends.
The Fi Global Startup Innovation Challenge gives newcomers the opportunity to present their ideas to a broad professional audience. Entries for the Startup Innovation Challenge are open until 18 September and, for the awards, until 25 September 2020.
A jury of industry experts, including company representatives, market analysts and trade journalists, will selec the finalists for the Fi Europe Innovation Award. Those shortlisted will pitch to the eight-member jury led by Prof. Dr Colin Dennis, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the British Nutrition Foundation (BNF).
Colin Dennis said: “Innovation in the food industry is key to future success. Nutrition and health, along with topics such as sustainability, diversity and inclusivity, are now key issues for us all. The Fi Europe Innovation Awards recognise the many exciting developments in all of these areas.

The Challenge finalists will have the opportunity to present their particular innovation in a live pitch to more than 1175 exhibitors and 21,000+ visitors on December 1 and 2.

Dr Thorsten Brandau, President of BRACE GmbH, highly recommended in 2019, comments: “The Fi Europe Innovations Awards were the perfect possibility for us to compete with other companies, that are the best in their field. Receiving a High Commendation proved that we are innovative and recognised by our peers. It also motivated us to work harder, to satisfy the needs of the industry of tomorrow.”
Informa Markets is confident that the Fi Europe colocated with Hi Europe will take place as planned from 1-3 December at Messe Frankfurt, Germany, in accordance with Informa’s AllSecure health and safety standard. The show organizer is in close contact and constant consultation with the City of Frankfurt, the State of Hesse and Messe Frankfurt.
