An independent jury of high-calibre experts from politics, business, research and society, chaired by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Holger Hanselka, President of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, will nominate three products each for the HERMES AWARD and the HERMES Startup AWARD and select the winner from this group. The criteria of technological innovation, benefits for industry, the environment and society, economic viability and readiness for realisation will play a key role in the assessment of prize worthiness.

The award reaches 7 million people worldwide every year. This year, companies and start-ups from all over the world are invited to enter their sustainable products and services in the competition under the motto "Green Olympics". Training camps, qualification rounds and networking events will accompany the process until the showdown in Berlin.
