The announcement and award ceremony took place during the PostEurop Plenary Assembly dinner in Jersey.

The Innovation Award aims to foster a stronger affinity and engagement in innovation concepts, ideas and findings among our Members in a consistent and continuous manner. Through the Award, PostEurop would like to recognise Members’ accomplishments in this area.
