Proudly supporting network partner CECIMO

The CECIMO Machine Tools Innovation Awards, MTI Awards for short, goes into the second round – and EIT Manufacturing is delighted to be an official partner once again. Christian Bölling, Director EIT Manufacturing Central will be part of the jury.

Projects or solutions which impact the machine tool industry positively are what the MTI Awards are looking at – a great opportunity for organisations from the machine tool ecosystem to get visibility and recognition for their efforts.

Applying to the MTI Awards is easy, as you can see in the guidelines for applicants – just fill in four slides about the project you wish to submit:

• Why it is outstanding?
• Which impact does it have on the industry, society and environment?

No cost involved!

Submissions are possible until 2 June 2024, the finalists will be announced 7 October 2024 and the awards ceremony will take place during the CECIMO Brussels Forum on 2 December 2024.

Finalists will benefit from excellent for networking opportunities and knowledge sharing among professionals in their field. Applying is free of charge – so there are only gains to be made!

Christian Bölling has already been a jury member last year, in the MTI Award’s first edition. He will again participate in the jury, having enjoyed reviewing and evaluating the applications. As his professional background is in machining, he recognises the impact of the machine tool industries on the entire manufacturing industry.

“CECIMO’s initiative to give visibility for improvements in this sector, which have positive repercussions in many companies, is great. I can only encourage people not to miss the opportunity of applying!”
