There was an overwhelming response of nearly 40 inventive ideas submitted. But now it’s time to announce the final winners.

• First Place: STG/Belgium, DC Herentals
• Second Place: BMN/Netherlands, Lelystad
• Third Place: Bauking/Germany, FH Berlin-Schöneberg

All winning ideas, including the nine finalists, have been successfully implemented at their respective locations.

“Congratulations to all the winners! We are immensely proud of the inventive and practical solutions developed by our colleagues.
