The IGR Innovation Award – a permanent fixture in the field of ergonomics
Over the past six years, the IGR Innovation Award has established itself as a recognized award and is now regarded as a reliable benchmark for the quality and innovative strength of companies and organizations dedicated to the topic of ergonomics.
Once again this year, numerous companies from a wide range of industries faced the critical judgment of the expert jury. The result: an impressive range of innovative approaches and solutions that show how strongly the topic of ergonomics has now arrived in all areas of life – whether at work, in the home office or in leisure time, for example when doing sport. After all, health affects us all – regardless of industry, company size or lifestyle.
The IGR Innovation Award recognizes not only technological innovations, but also holistic concepts that understand ergonomics as a forward-looking component of modern living and working environments. The award winners of previous years are impressive proof of how sustainable ergonomic impulses can be.
This year is the last time the Ergonomics Innovation Award will be presented – marking the end of a successful phase of honoring pioneering ergonomic developments. Our special thanks go to all applicants, supporters and the many dedicated experts who have contributed to the success with their expertise, commitment and, last but not least, a great deal of passion.
We are delighted to have made a contribution to the success of our award winners with the IGR Innovation Award – and thus to the further development of ergonomics as the key to better health and quality of life.
