The Innovation Award portal is now open! This award is known as a door opener and unique marketing opportunity in the energy industry. It has been a high-profile distinction in the energy industry since 1982.


Nominate your candidate
While the portal is open you can nominate your candidate. The submissions are completely confidential and are only seen by the Innovation Awards Jury. This jury will closely assess all entries and make sure the nominee meets the criteria. The finalists will present their innovation at the ONS Technical Sessions before the winners are announced at the Conference.
What are we looking for?
As the energy industry grows and changes, there is a demand for better solutions to replace and improve current value chains. We want to encourage inventors, operators, entrepreneurs, suppliers and contractors to nominate their projects and ideas. Through the Innovation Awards they are able to promote their ideas and solutions to the broad, international energy industry.
To make room for as many great ideas and technology as possible, we have the Innovation Award and the SME Innovation Award. This is to make sure that small and medium sized enterprises are also given the chance to highlight their new developments.
