About the Award
The world of materials is developing rapidly. Materials are becoming lighter, more powerful, more durable and can be opti-mized even better to meet their specific requirements. In addition, sustainability and recyclability are becoming strategically important – the carbon footprint of a material, a product or a manufacturing process is also moving towards the center of attention.

The MATERIALICA Design + Technology Award is the leading and only competition worldwide that is positioned at the interface of materials, design, and technology. It unifies Materials and Design on one hand and designer and engineers on the other. Therefore, it is closing the gap between classic design awards and technology awards.

Take your chance and present your innovative products to a wide audience and win the prize. Apply for the MATERIALICA Design + Technology Award 2025 in the categories

  • Material
  • Product
  • Process
  • CO₂- Efficiency
  • Student

    Also, students are invited to join the award with their new ideas. Students even have the chance to win not only publicity and honor. The student winner receives 1.000 € and receives the communication package free of charge.
