The organisers of Messe Köln, Cologne Fair, and Dähne Verlag are creating a new possibility at the Gafa to present products from the sector water technology. Dähne Verlag in conjunction with Messe Köln established the “Water Power” forum for innovations for the next Gafa. This gives manufacturers of products for the sector water technology the opportunity to present their innovations for the first time in a highly focussed forum during the trade fair. Any exhibiting companies can take part in the competition. Prices include an innovations badge which the winners can use to label their products with. A six persons strong panel of judges will be judging the participants´ entries according to the main criteria of quality, functionality and design. The presentation ceremony of the three winners will take place on Sunday, 5th September 2004 at 12:00 noon at the stand of the “Water Power” innovations forum.
