Our IABM Industry Trends Survey has identified the ongoing investment in R&D at consistently high levels over the past two years, and clearly this is now manifesting itself in an increase in new products and innovations coming to the market, said IABM Director General Peter White. The IABM Awards for Design and Innovation identify important new products and showcase their significance within our rapidly evolving industry. Our judging panel scores all entries against the level of innovation that each promises, and the five finalists for this year's awards have emerged through a rigorous review process. We're very pleased, once again, with the quality of our five finalists and look forward to announcing the Peter Wayne award at IBC.

The IABM awards program is open to all global manufacturers and suppliers, and it recognizes products that offer significant solutions or new opportunities to the broadcast supply industry. All judges on the international panel are independent and are not affiliated with a vendor company or similar operation. In addition to selecting five winners of the IABM Award for Excellence, the panel selects from these one overall winner. The top award is named in memory of Peter Wayne, a highly respected industry figure who, through his career and participation in many groups including the IABM, made outstanding contributions to broadcasting.
