Application
There are many good ideas - but you have to be able to implement them successfully and place them on the market. We honor such ideas with the Wellness & Spa Innovation Awards. But what is a wellness and spa innovation? The popularity of the concept of wellness has led to almost everything being associated with wellness today.
With our innovation awards, we recognize concepts, services and products that help people to lead a healthy and enjoyable life. The benefits should be credibly proven, or at least plausible. However, a good idea alone is not enough to be considered an innovation. Firstly, it needs to be implemented in new, progressive products, services or processes, secondly, it it should be successful in application and thirdly, and lastly, it has to be available on the market, i.e. it must go beyond the stage of a mere idea or concept.
