IFA Berlin Launches IFA Innovation Awards

IFA Berlin, the world's largest home & consumer tech event, is launching a new global awards program, the IFA Innovation Awards. Designed to highlight outstanding innovation, design excellence, and market impact, the awards will premiere during IFA 2025 in Berlin, marking a bold new chapter in IFA’s legacy as the industry’s global stage.

"The IFA Innovation Awards will recognize the Best of IFA, rewarding the incredible progress being made in home and consumer technology. By highlighting best-in-class products from our 1,800+ exhibitors, IFA will help retailers, buyers, consumers, press and media identify the brands that are truly shaping how we live, work, and play. We’re excited to highlight the companies that are implementing AI and designing sustainable and accessible solutions for all," said James McGough, Managing Director at Clarion Events.

"The IFA Innovation Awards represent the natural evolution of IFA's century-long commitment to showcasing the technologies that transform how we live, work, and connect," commented Helena Stone, Editor-in-chief at GEEKSPIN and judge at the IFA Innovation Awards. "As IFA enters its second century, these awards will spotlight the innovations that define the future of consumer technology."

Following the milestone of IFA’s 100th anniversary in 2024, the launch of the Innovation Awards sets the tone for the new era. The Innovation Awards will recognize products that demonstrate exceptional innovation, design excellence, and market impact in the home and consumer technology space.

The IFA Innovation Awards will spotlight innovations from all areas of home and consumer technologies, including smart home and IoT innovation, sustainable technology, health and wellness tech, gaming and entertainment, mobile communication, audio-visual excellence, kitchen and home appliances, and emerging technologies. Winners will receive either the official "Best of category" or “Innovation Award” certification, representing the highest-rated products with prestigious industry recognition.
