Dubai WoodShow has been supporting the growth of the wood & wood working industry since 2005 and we’re delighted to announce the first edition of the Innovation & Excellence Awards celebration which will see the much-anticipated achievements through leadership thereby raising the bar of excellence.

The WoodShow Innovation and Excellence Awards is a premier competition for excellence and innovation in the wood and woodworking machinery sectors. It recognizes, encourages and promotes the outstanding innovations, craftsmanship and achievements for both the sectors. It’s a special day, allowing the industry to, catch up with old friends and colleagues, meet new ones, have a great time together and yes, the emphasis of the awards is going to be squarely placed on informality, networking and fun. But also, on merit. The very 1st edition of awards was hosted during the annual edition of Dubai WoodShow that took place from 15 – 17 March, 2022 at Dubai World Trade Centre, Dubai, UAE.

The award entries were subject to a completely unbiased and transparent process of selection, analysis and voting during the months leading into the event by an external and independent team of leading industry practitioners. This was a well-deserved celebration for world-class members of such a deserving, resilient and creative industry. And at a time when it’s needed most. The awards are classified in two primary categories viz. Corporate Awards and Individual Awards. On this important occasion, we had a chance to officially celebrate the success achieved through the sheer hard work and perseverance.
