Today's imagination, tomorrow's inspiration.
Imagination and inspiration are the driving forces behind innovation. It starts with a great idea, but unless it is transformed into action, it's not innovation. The drive for improvement; the willingness to challenge the normal; the passion and belief in what you are doing - these are the characteristics of great innovators.
What is most critical to innovation is the ability to inspire others. The purpose of the IFF Innovation Award is to inspire companies from all over the world to not only come up with great ideas, but make them happen. We want to tell the stories of great specialty fabric manufacturers who have challenged the normal and succeeded and who are leading the way to unchartered territories. We want these companies and their stories to inspire others in the industry and to act as benchmarks for the chosen few to surpass.
Innovation is the heart of creating a specialty fabrics industry that will lead us all into the 21st century. The IFF Innovation Award transforms that idea into action. You are doing it and we want to see it.
Join us and help us foster the next-generation of specialty fabrics industry innovators. Together, we can inspire the world.
Applications for the 2011 IFF Innovation Award will be available in March 2011.
