The opening of registration signals the start of this year’s Eurobike Award. Companies, designers and developers across the international bike and mobility sector now have until July 8th to register their new products for the Eurobike Award 2021.
In a release, the Eurobike trade show organising team notes…
‘Worldwide logistics bottlenecks and much-discussed record sales figures in the bike industry send out a clear signal: the bicycle industry is booming – whether for gravel bikes, e-scooters, parts or accessories.
‘Eurobike, the leading bicycle market trade fair, offers a very special platform for product innovations with its prestigious award. Honours are allocated to new products in nine categories, including sustainability, mobility and digitisation. This most important seal of quality in the international bike market is awarded as part of a two-stage process by a panel of high-calibre and independent experts from the sector.’
In keeping with tradition, the award winners will be announced on the first evening of the Eurobike trade fair (September 1, 2021). Alongside significant media attention, award winners also benefit from the prominent positioning at the heart of the live trade fair, which showcases the winning products.
“As usual, entries for the 16th Eurobike Awards will be scrutinised by a proficient panel of expert judges,” explained Eurobike Show Director Dirk Heidrich. “When selecting the members of the panel, we will be taking account of the current situation regarding the pandemic.
“As a result, the international panel members will mainly be involved in the digital preselection phase. During the live panel meeting on-site in Friedrichshafen, we will then be relying to a greater extent on expert know-how from the German-speaking countries this year.”
In line with previous years, awards will be allocated in the separate versions of Gold, Green and Start-Up. Start-ups founded less than three years ago as well as student projects receive support for the Eurobike Award in the form of reduced entry fees.
Participation in the awards process is open to exhibitors and non-exhibitors alike, while those who enter early can access an early-bird discount for entries received by June 13th. The final date for registration is July 8th.
Companies can now register for the Eurobike Award at www.eurobike-award.de, where they will also find detailed information on the product categories, terms and conditions of participation and fees.
In 2021, the 29th Eurobike is geared towards trade visitors on Wednesday and Thursday (September, 1-2) and then opens its doors to all bike fans and enthusiasts on Friday and Saturday (September 3-4).
