This year, The Fi Europe Innovation Awards will include four new categories: Dairy Alternative Innovation, Food Manufacturing, Pet Food Innovation, and Future Foodtech Innovation. These additions boost the awards to a total of nine categories, capturing cutting-edge trends that are shaping the future of food.
The Fi Europe Innovation Awards honor the people, teams, and organizations breaking new ground and driving positive change in the F&B industry, giving them the credit they deserve for their achievements. Participants benefit not only from the international recognition and multi-channel publicity that it generates but also from the opportunity to meet industry visionaries, obtain objective validation, and expand their professional networks.
The awards are judged by a panel of esteemed industry professionals presided over by Colin Dennis, chair of the board of trustees at IFIS and the British Nutrition Foundation (BNF). They are open to companies and organizations who are exhibiting at Fi Europe 2024, except the Diversity & Inclusion Award, which is open to any organization. Entries are now live, with a submission deadline of 6 September, after which finalists will be notified. The program culminates in a glittering ceremony on the evening of 19 November at Fi Europe in Frankfurt, when the winners are announced. This year, entry to the Fi Europe Innovation Awards is included in the VIP pass.
The nine categories are as follows
- Dairy Alternative Innovation Award (NEW)
- Diversity & Inclusion Award
- Food Manufacturing Award (NEW)
- Future Foodtech Innovation Award (NEW)
- Health Innovation Award
- Pet Food Innovation Award (NEW)
- Sensory Innovation Award

Yannick Verry, brand director, Food Ingredients Europe & Americas said, “We felt it was time to expand our award categories to keep pace with the evolution of the industry as a whole. The category changes recognize the exciting advancements that are being made in dairy alternative ingredients and the growing role that tech is playing in solutions development. The introduction of a food manufacturing award reflects the F&B industry’s heightened focus on efficiency, food safety, and waste reduction, whilst the new pet food innovation accolade signals an exciting expansion into a dynamic sector. I cannot wait to see what innovations will be showcased through this year’s program and urge any organization that is thinking about entering to go for it.”
