The “Factory Innovation Award” competition is one of the most significant Smart Factory Software awards in Europe.

The award is held by the Center for Industry 4.0 at the University of Potsdam, in cooperation with the Berlin-based GITO publishing house and the FACTORY INNOVATION trade journal, the leading publication for the Smart Factory market.
