New Product Award

Any company enrolled in the SLAS Europe 2026 New Product Showcase is eligible to compete for a New Product Award. A new product is defined as one launched in the year since the previous conference and exhibition and commercially available for purchase within 90 days before and after the conference and exhibition. Major product enhancements to an existing product may be considered.

• Market opportunity
• Impact of the product
• Originality of the product

The New Product Award Review Panel will review all applications ahead of the conference and select up to five finalists to interview on-site. Up to three winners will be selected.
