This means that a total of 27 editors-in-chief of leading international logistics publications from 20 nations are represented on the IFOY jury.

Due to its expertise, the IFOY AWARD is considered the most important innovation award in intralogistics. The election is preceded by a audit with nomination and test cycles. The products and solutions nominated for the final will undergo individually tailored driving or functional tests during the IFOY TEST DAYS 2021 at the end of January at the Hannover Exhibition Centre, including the IFOY test protocol comprising around 80 criteria and the scientific IFOY Innovation Check. In addition, jurors and their teams of consultants from the business world will travel to the event to assess the finalists themselves before they cast their vote.

The TEST CAMP Intralogistics enables logistics decision-makers to take test drives, equipment tests and general product information at the companies that made it to the IFOY finals and present nominated vehicles and solutions from the current year, but also from previous years. The number of participants is limited to 100 B2B visitors. To protect the guests, the IFOY organisation has developed a hygiene concept due to the Covid 19 pandemic.
