FIS Innovation Awards
Promoting innovation in the finishes and interiors sector
There remains a perception that construction is not an innovative sector, our aim with these awards is to debunk this myth and celebrate innovation in our sector. We are looking for innovation that meets a need in the sector and has evidence of adoption or planned use in a commercial environment. By innovation we mean the successful exploitation of new ideas and bringing creative ideas to life.
Our focus is ideas that help support improvements in efficiency, productivity, performance, quality or perception of the finishes and interiors sector.
The awards comprise the following categories:
- Product Innovation – sponsored Simonswerk
- Digital innovation – sponsored by Procore
- Sustainable innovation – sponsored by SpecFinish
plus Innovation of the Year
Determined by an audience vote on the day.
The Awards are open to all companies operating in the finishes and interiors sector, regardless of size. To qualify innovations should have been introduced to the UK market in the last five years. Entry into the 2026 Awards will open in April 2025.
