Today's imagination, tomorrow's inspiration.

Imagination and inspiration are the driving forces behind innovation. Innovation begins with a great idea, but unless transformed into action, it remains just a thought. The drive for improvement; the willingness to challenge the norm; the passion and belief in what you are doing - these are the characteristics of great innovators. Truly effective innovators are also great motivators.

The purpose of the IFF Innovation Award is recognize specialty fabric innovators who have designed and developed extraordinary products or processes. We want to tell the stories of incredible companies who have challenged the ordinary and are leading the way in the 21^stcentury. We want these companies and their stories to inspire others in the specialty fabrics industry and to act as catalysts for the next great idea.

Join IFF as we foster specialty fabrics industry innovators. Together, we will inspire the world as we help our industry grow.

Announcement of the 2013 IFF Innovation Award will take place during IFAI Expo, Orlando, FL.
