The nominees have been determined for the bauma Innovation Award from 41 finalists out of an original 133 entries.
Messe München and VDMA, together with the construction trade associations HDB, ZDB and bbs, are awarding the prize for the thirteenth time. The competition was launched last year with the new categories of climate protection and digitalisation, and the categories of mechanical engineering, construction and research are back in the running.
Trade press visitors to the Media Dialogue on 21 and 22 June in Munich will have the opportunity to cast their votes online from 8 to 13 September, which will be included in the overall evaluation. All nominees will be presented on the eve of bauma, on October 23, 2022, in the Max Joseph Hall in the Munich Residence, and the five innovations with the highest number of points will be awarded the prize.
The jury evaluates the entries based on criteria that are significant for the industry and its future. These include how practice-oriented a solution is or what economic potential it offers. Increasing digitalisation plays just as much a role as environmental protection aspects, sustainability, resource efficiency or the humanisation of the workplace.

The competition is a joint project under the auspices of the VDMA Construction – Equipment and Plant Engineering, Messe München, the Federation of the German Construction Industry (HDB), the German Construction Confederation (ZDB) and the German Building Materials Association (bbs).
With the Media Dialogue in June, the international trade press had the opportunity to conduct interviews with exhibitors and find out about new products and processes at “table talks” a good four months before the start of the fair.
