ERP Award Ceremony at IT-Unternehmertag | October 5, 2026 | Frankfurt am Main

This unique competition is held annually as a public online pitch. The “ERP System of the Year” seal is Europe's leading award for enterprise resource planning systems and will be presented for the 21st time in 2026. A panel of experts determines the rankings (bronze, silver or gold) based on strict criteria. Only the best pitch presentations receive awards; there are no guaranteed prizes and no overall winner.

The competition is organized by Berlin-based GITO Verlag (organizer), LSWI at the University of Potsdam (academic partner), Center for Enterprise Research (knowledge partner), the trade magazine ERP Management (media partner), and IT-Unternehmertag (event partner). The competition takes the form of a public online pitch.
