World Refrigeration Day Cold Chain Innovation Award

The Cold Chain is now an area of real focus and importance for the refrigeration industry – ranging from extending food preservation in the developing world to supporting home deliveries in the developed regions.

This focus has put an emphasis both on cold storage and on mobile refrigerated solutions, so this category seeks to recognise those innovations. The entry can be for one element or where appropriate for cold chain systems.

Its importance has been recognised by being the theme of the 2020 World Refrigeration Day, and the category has been renamed in its honour.

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.

• A clear description of the innovation, project or technology

Use the criteria above as a guide, but any extra detail that will help your entry should be included. Additional material can be provided as attachments for reference, but the essential elements of the entry should be kept within the 1,000-words. Please do not simply attach the whole entry as a pdf!
