OE-A Competition

OE-A Competition 2025

The high number of submissions by the end of October shows that the OE-A Competition enjoys a high reputation in the PE community and that participation brings a high level of visibility in the market.

All projects will be displayed at the OE-A booth during LOPEC 2025. An international jury rates each project in a secret vote and one winner per category will be announced. A special moment is when the winners receive their award during an official ceremony at LOPEC 2025. OE-A will organize a web seminar on April 3, 2025 for all winners to present their products to the community. OE-A flanks and supports the run of the Competition with press and social media work.

This year, 22 projects from global companies, research institutions, and universities will compete in the "OE-A Competition 2025," showcasing groundbreaking ideas. A distinguished jury of experts from leading international organizations will evaluate the submissions across three categories: "Prototypes & New Products," "Freestyle Demonstrator," and "Publicly Funded Project Demonstrator."
