The Engineer’s ‘Product Prize’ is one of Denmark’s most acknowledged technology awards giving recognition to technological products with a high level of novelty and technological qualities. The prize has been awarded the past 15 years within 5 categories. This year, the categories were:
ECO award (eco-friendly product)
Welfare award (helping people)
Global award (export potential/jobs)
Innovation award (innovative/surprising solution)
Entrepreneurial award (new product from new company)
In a strong field of innovative products, the SL-Deck was awarded the ‘Global award’ for the product’s significant benefits and big international potential. The jury gave the following motivation for the award:
“Precast concrete elements have been on the market for many years but have not undergone significant development. This is changed with this Danish solution, which has great prospects for becoming a part of the increasing urbanisation and thus increasing construction in big cities. At the same time, the SL-Deck is eco-friendly and stronger than traditional solutions.”
