Although The smarter E Europe 2020 has been canceled and The smarter E South America 2020 postponed, we still want to take the time to recognize market leaders, SMEs, start-ups and project owners for their pioneering solutions and projects with the most important innovation prizes in the energy industry. The winners of The smarter E AWARD, Intersolar AWARD and ees AWARD will be honored in a virtual ceremony at the end of June 2020.

Submissions can still be made until the extended deadline of April 30.

Exhibitors at The smarter E events taking place worldwide as well as those originally registered to exhibit at The smarter E Europe 2020 are eligible to submit their innovative products and projects to be considered for the international prizes. Submissions must be made by April 30, 2020. "The current developments brought about by the coronavirus acutely limit companies of the new energy world in their ability to advertise and market their products and solutions. Particularly in these unusual times, competing for an award offers companies a unique opportunity to present their innovations to international experts and the market as a whole," says Markus Elsässer, CEO of Solar Promotion.  "For over 10 years, we have aimed to honor the people behind these innovations on a very public platform. And this year, we will once again recognize the leaders in the field of renewable energy."

VIRTUAL AWARD CEREMONY

In order to guarantee the visibility promised and to honor the industry's innovations on an international stage in spite of the current situation, the AWARD Ceremony for The smarter E AWARD, Intersolar AWARD and ees AWARD will be held online on June 30, 2020.
