Additional at this year’s event is the new InnovationLab, specially designed to be an inspiring environment where pioneering products and other revolutionary ideas are presented and discussed by exhibitors and visitors alike, and where knowledge and experiences in the field of cleaning innovation are shared freely. In this futuristic setting, the nine nominated products will be in the spotlight.
At the InnovationLab, attendees will be able to browse the details of all Amsterdam Innovation Awards short-listed submissions on iPad tablets and evaluate the features and performance data that make them ground-breaking.
Deirdre Somers, FESE President, said: “The listed companies nominated for these awards fully deserve recognition for their achievements, and serve as an example to other companies of the positive benefits that can be gained from equity financing.”
Commenting on the win, Mark Nichols, CEO of Xeros said: “We are delighted to be named as the winner of the Best New Listed Company category in these prestigious awards. As a result of our AIM listing on the London Stock Exchange we have been able to support the roll-out of our commercial laundry strategy, raising the profile of the company and our technologies with potential partners, customers and investors alike.”
"Innovation propels the cleaning sector forward and ISSA/ INTERCLEAN has long been the platform of choice when it comes to showcasing new developments," said RAI's Manager for ISSA/ INTERCLEAN, Rob den Hertog.
"In addition to the Amsterdam Innovation Award, the Amsterdam show always witnesses thousands of innovations and new products. Yet, due to the competitive ‘noise’ of the large number of introductions and the wide range of marketing and promotion opportunities available, not all these product launches get the full attention they deserve. The new InnovationLab concept helps address this issue and creates a platform so that no true innovation need go unnoticed any longer.”

Whether you're looking to find suppliers or distributors, expand your company's global presence, solidify customer relationships, stay ahead of industry trends, or network with your peers, ISSA/INTERCLEAN trade shows provide these opportunities – and much more, in venues around the globe.
