The highly prestigious LVMH Innovation Award is currently open for applications for its much-anticipated 2019 edition. This sought-after award, organized by the luxury powerhouse LVMH, is dedicated to celebrating and honoring start-ups that offer innovative solutions to the customer experience challenges faced by the group and its renowned labels including Louis Vuitton, Celine, Fendi, and Givenchy.
Eligible for the award are start-ups that have been in business for under 10 years and have fewer than 100 employees. The deadline for submissions is set for February 15, 2019. Following this date, a panel of industry experts will carefully select the top 30 finalists. These finalists will then have the chance to showcase their cutting-edge innovations at the upcoming Viva Technology event, scheduled to take place on May 16-18 at the Porte de Versailles exhibition center in the vibrant city of Paris. The lucky winner will be revealed during the event and will bag a significant prize of a one-year mentorship at LVMH.
In previous editions of the LVMH Innovation Award, notable start-ups such as Oyst, VeChain, Kronos Care, and Heuritech have been recognized and lauded for their groundbreaking solutions. Standout winner of the 2018 edition, Oyst, is renowned for its seamless one-click buying process that removes the need for extra information. VeChain, thanks to its exceptional blockchain anti-counterfeiting solutions, and Kronos Care, offering tailored post-purchase services, were also acknowledged with special mentions. The inaugural winner of the award, Heuritech, claimed the top prize for its innovative use of AI tools in analyzing the appeal of various fashion brands and products.
The LVMH Innovation Award serves as a vital platform for start-ups looking to showcase their innovative concepts and solutions within the luxury market.
