The companies that have been honoured with the INTERNORGA Future Award since 2011 all share certain characteristics – innovative strength, sustainable developments and impressive courage. The winners set new standards in the industry, impressing with high efficiency and responsible entrepreneurship. Although they all take different paths in the process, in their own way each one of them is shaping the long-term future of the foodservice and hospitality market. The award is considered to be one of the most important national and international honours in the industry.
The winner from among the nominees is chosen by the prestigious jury, consisting of the trend researcher Hanni Rützler, the scientist Dr J. Daniel Dahm, the engineer Carl-Otto Gensch and the nutritionist Rainer Roehl. The large number of outstanding applications meant that making the selection was once again no easy task this year. ‘The high quality and inventiveness of the nominated concepts shows the enormous potential for sustainable developments in ongoing transformation of food culture,’ says Hanni Rützler. Visitors to INTERNORGA can find out which trendsetting companies are in the running for the coveted prize live on the OPEN STAGE on 14 March at 12 p.m. TV presenter Patrice Bouédibéla will host the exciting awards ceremony, which can also be viewed via a livestream for those unable to attend.
