Fi & Hi Europe 2022
Fi Europe Innovation Awards
The renowned Fi Europe Innovation Awards will once again be
adding extra value to the trade show. With one exception, the awards
will only be presented among Fi Europe exhibitors: The new “Food
Training & Education” category is also open to non-exhibitors. This
award is intended to recognise a company, institution or organisation
that contributes to better consumer health, for example, through
an educational initiative or a pioneering approach. The “Sustainability
Innovation Award” recognises environmentally, economi cally
or socially sustainable approaches and practices in the food and
beverage industry. Companies that create equal opportunities in
the work environment receive the “Diversity & Inclusion Innovation
Award”. The “Plant-based Innovation Award” acknowledges alternatives
to animal products and is given for the best ingredient or
application. In the “Sensory Innovation” category, the award is for
an ingredient or process that improves the overall sensory properties
of foods or beverages. The “Health Innovation Award” honours an
ingredient or process that provides a health benefit. The “Food Tech
Innovation Award” goes to companies that have developed innovative
processes, packaging or waste reduction solutions.
The decision as to who receives awards is made by industry experts
from the fields of consulting, management, product development
and trade media. Prof. Colin Dennis, Chairman of the Board of Trustees
of the IFIS organization and member of the Board of Trustees
of the British Nutrition Foundation, will again chair the jury this year.
The winners of all categories will be announced during Fi & Hi Europe
at a ceremony on December 6.

Award for innovative startups
The Fi Global Startup Innovation Challenge also enables young
companies to present their innovative concepts, products and ideas
to an international audience of experts, major companies and sponsors.
All companies founded no more than five years ago are eligible
to participate.
They can apply in one or more of the following categories:
Most innovative ingredient for food or beverage
Most innovative plant-based or alternative ingredient
Most innovative processing technology
Most innovative service, technology or digital solution for the food and
beverage industry
Finalists and winners will have access to the Startup Lounge, where
they can present their products and solutions on the Innovation Hub
stage, and network with industry representatives. Both the pitches
and the award ceremony will also be streamed via the Fi Europe
online platform and remain permanently available. Winners will have
a choice of several attractive prizes: A fully equipped booth at Fi
Europe next year, a comprehensive online marketing package or an
individual mentoring programme.
The latter can be coaching, for example, or the implementation of a
pilot project, or it can include access to corporate collaborations and
business accelerator programmes.
In addition to the Innovation Hub, visitors will find the new Sustainability
Hub at the exhibition, which focuses on sustainable food solutions
along the entire value chain. Here visitors will find information
on food waste, circular economy, regenerative agriculture and many
other topics. Finally, the Women’s Networking Breakfast, sponsored
by DSM, Lunch & Learn and other events are perfect for building a
professional network.
