supported by AFC and anuga

After the successful premiere in 2023, the FROZEN! dti Innovation Award will be presented for the second time on October 7, 2025, at Anuga in Cologne.

The motto is:

“Frozen Food meets Future – with frozen products into the food world of tomorrow!”

We are honouring groundbreaking innovations that advance the frozen food industry.

We are looking for ideas that offer real added value for retail, foodservice, and consumers – such as smart packaging, reusable concepts, AI-based solutions, or frozen products that reflect current trends like health or convenience.

No matter if you're a young startup or an established company – from Germany or abroad: If you have a strong idea that drives the frozen food sector forward, join us!

Simply fill out the form and additionally send us your pitch deck to FROZEN@afc.net. You can also reach us here if you have any questions or take a look at the award page: https://www.tiefkuehlkost.de/tk-fuer-alle/aktuelles/frozen-award

If you are one of the three finalists, we look forward to your personal pitch by you or your team at Anuga in Cologne on 7 October 2025, 3 - 4 pm. You will receive your trade fair ticket from us, but unfortunately we cannot cover any travel or other costs.

We look forward to your application by 04 September 2025!
Yours, AFC
