Winners Announced At FIS Innovation Awards 2023

The Finishes and Interiors Sector (FIS) has announced the winners of its inaugural Innovation Awards at a ceremony held at its Annual Conference in London.

In front of a packed audience at the Business Design Centre on 27th February, the winners of the 2023 FIS Innovation Awards were announced and presented. The awards recognise and celebrate innovation in the finishes and interiors sector, showcasing companies that are paving the way for greater efficiency and collaboration. The awards comprised four categories: Product Fit-Out, Product FF&E, Digital and Sustainability.

All entries were independently assessed by a panel of expert judges and the winner of each category was announced in front of a live audience. The winner of each category was then invited to deliver a short pitch on their innovation to the audience, who then determined the overall 2023 Innovation of the Year winner.
