DHL is offering the DHL Innovation Award, which gives young logistics scientists the opportunity gain attention for their practical logistics solutions.
Creative solutions that are focused above all on customer needs have the best chance of winning. It is a prerequisite to not only present the theoretical approach but to also provide some first assumptions on the market potential of the solution.
The availability of a business plan will increase the chances to win. A panel of experts from R&D, politics and business will evaluate the entries.
A prize of 5,000 euros awaits the winner at the award ceremony on 1 December, 2009, at the DHL Innovation Centre near Bonn, Germany.
“Logistics feeds off creative ideas,” says Frank Appel, CEO Deutsche Post DHL. “With the DHL Innovation Award, we are supporting young scientists who have the ability to create pioneering ideas that are also practical in their implementation.”
The DHL Innovation Awards were held for the first time last year. Because of the huge response, DHL decided to continue the competition.
