BI-MU FUTURETECH AWARD
On the occasion of 35.BI-MU — marking the 70th anniversary of the exhibition’s launch — we introduced the BI-MU FUTURETECH AWARD 2026, the award that celebrated the most innovative solutions in the manufacturing industry.
The contest was exclusively reserved for exhibitors (both direct and indirect) who physically showcased cutting-edge products and solutions during the exhibition in one of the following categories:
- Mechanical Technology
- Digitalization of processes or services
- Sustainability (economic, environmental, and social)
A Judging Committee, composed of five university professors, conducted a preliminary documentary assessment to identify the finalists. The final winners — three for each category — were selected after a dedicated technical visit to the booths during the exhibition days.
The selected winners received:
- Official “BI-MU FUTURETECH AWARD 2026” plaque.
- Dedicated video interview published on the official 35.BI-MU digital channels.
- Mention on the BI-MU website, social media, and official press releases.
- A premium agri-food product representing Made in Italy excellence.
- Two tickets to the Maranello Day (including a Test Drive in Maranello, a guided tour of the Ferrari Museum, and a traditional Emilian lunch).
The awards ceremony took place on October 16, the final day of the exhibition, at the BI-MUpiù Arena.
