About the awards

For many years now, the Amsterdam Innovation Award has been granted to the most innovative product, service or solution in the cleaning and hygiene industry in four different categories.

All Interclean Amsterdam exhibitors can compete to win one of these prestigious awards. An international expert jury selects twelve nominees who will be invited to come to Amsterdam in March 2024 to pitch their innovation to the Jury. From these 12 nominees, 4 category winners and one overall winner will be chosen. Additionally, there is a Visitors’ Choice Award and a Cleaners’ Choice Award.

All winners will be announced during the Keynote Opening of Interclean Amsterdam 2024 on May 14th. At our Innovation LAB, the House of Awards in Hall 13, all the nominees will be on display for all visitors to see. These nominees will receive global media coverage through our social channels, website, mailings and press releases. All entries will be part of the special “We Innovate” Innovation Route.
