Competition rules
Participation in the DHL Innovation Award
For the DHL Innovation Award, we are looking for ambitious young scientists and entrepreneurs. As a master's or PhD candidate, a research assistant or an entrepreneur, you should have intensely worked on a logistics-related academic research project or business plan.
Creative solutions that are focused on customer needs have the best chance of winning. It is a prerequisite to not only present the theoretical approach, but also provide some initial assumptions on the market potential of the solution. The submission of a business plan will increase your chances of winning. A panel of experts from R&D, politics and business will evaluate the entries. The application period for this year has expired. In 2011 there will be a new opportunity to participate.
