The world of materials is developing swiftly and becoming increasingly complex. Designers have known for a long time that the success of a product and its design also depends on the right choice of materials. Pioneering materials can provide functional, aesthetic and production-related impulses. At the same time, engineers and developers are inspired by design requirements to develop new materials and technologies.
To highlight this interrelation, to demonstrate the importance of materials for industrial design-oriented applications and to establish a platform for designers, material manufacturers, developers, engineers and producers for a get-together, MunichExpo has been organizing the MATERIALICA Design + Technology Award for eight years. The main focal point of this award is on aerospace, automotive, engineering, sports and technical consumer goods.
Traditionally, the award is granted on the occasion of the trade fair MATERIALICA - the international specialist fair for material applications, surfaces and product engineering in Munich - which will be held from October 23 through 25, 2012.
Outline your innovative competence by participating in the award. The MATERIALICA Design Award provides you with a valuable marketing instrument and allows you to position your products more successfully in the marketplace.
We are looking forward to your submissions and wish you good luck!
