CLEPA Innovation Awards 2025
A successful mobility transformation is not possible without the contributions of automotive suppliers. In fact, the mobility-technology industry is one of the most innovative in the EU, with €30 billion invested in R&D each year.
The CLEPA Innovation Awards proudly recognise and celebrate the ground-breaking innovation in the automotive supply industry, driving the Green and Digital transition in Europe. All players within the automotive supply ecosystem, from SMEs and start-ups to multinational corporations, are invited to showcase their innovations and gain recognition at European level.
A panel of selected experts will evaluate applications considering factors such as ambition, market impact, implementation feasibility, and societal contribution. The Top Innovators will be announced at the Awards Ceremony in Brussels on 18 November, attended by industry representatives, policymakers, and media.
