The World Coffee Innovation Awards have launched to celebrate the gamechangers and trendsetters who have elevated coffee as we know it. From beans and pods to equipment and speciality drinks, the Awards recognise innovations that push the industry forward and make us thirst for our daily caffeine fix!
From farms to roasting plants to cafes and individual innovators, the Awards shine a spotlight on the cutting-edge advancements that often go unnoticed. Think revolutionary machines, unique packaging, novel blends, or a spin on an old classic!
Being shortlisted for the World Coffee Innovation Awards is a mark of excellence that will prevail long after the ceremony and can demonstrate the impact you are making in the food and beverage industry. Winners will be announced at Caffè Culture in October.
