Cold Chain Innovation/ Project

The Cold Chain is now an area of real focus and importance for the refrigeration industry, whether it be to serve the rapidly expanding home delivery market or in the developing world, to preserve food for longer from farm to market.

This focus has also meant a distinct move for refrigeration technology away from static storage and display towards mobile solutions, so this category seeks to recognise those innovations. Nominations are sought in the broad field of cold chain technology, whether it be mobile refrigeration; delivery, tracking and monitoring; or cold storage. The entry can be for one element or for the cold chain as a whole.

NB For installations, the project must be completed and some tangible results produced.

In 1,000 words or less, please tell the judges why your entry should win. Successful finalists will be invited to pitch to judges in the face-to-face round in July.
