The Innovation Awards Competition of the Mayors and Local Authorities Exhibition<\/strong>, organized jointly with the Biodiversity Exhibition<\/strong>, recognizes each year an innovative solution or collaboration carried out with a local authority.<\/h4>\n

The competition includes eight categories<\/strong>, each of which may reward both an innovative solution<\/strong> and\/or an innovative collaboration<\/strong>.
An innovation that contributes to biodiversity protection<\/strong> may also be distinguished.<\/h4>\n

This initiative follows an annual cycle<\/strong>, enabling each edition to highlight new projects that support and advance local territories.<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n
