You as exhibitor are invited to participate in our competition and win the IFAT Environmental Leadership Award. The overall concept of a sustainable trade fair presentation is evaluated by a jury chaired by Prof. Dr. Martin Faulstich, Professor for Environmental and Energy Engineering, Clausthal University of Technology; Director of INZIN—Institute for the Future of Industrial Society; and former Chairman of the German Advisory Council on the Environment.
The most sustainable trade fair concept will be honored at the IFAT opening event on September 7, 2020. From all submissions, we will nominate ten sustainable concepts, three of which will make it to the final.
Look forward to a high-profile awards ceremony—let’s celebrate your environmentally friendly trade fair appearance! With the award you will begin the fair days as a model and a highly decorated exhibitor.
