Our criteria

Originality: The uniqueness of the idea in the marketplace and its potential as a gamechanger.
Impact: The innovation’s capacity to generate a superior, long-term competitive edge. This includes KPIs such as RoI, NPS, cost reduction, churn rate, employee engagement score, customer lifetime value (CLV), time reduction, carbon footprint, etc.
Universality: The innovation’s potential to be relevant and/or adapted for use in other markets, or even industries.
Form quality: A detailed description of the project in its various phases, its results, and the addition of presentation slides, videos or images to visualize and better understand the project.
