To coincide with the 14th edition of Interpoma, international trade fair dedicated exclusively to apple growing in Bolzano, Italy, applications have officially opened for the Interpoma Award 2026.  This honour will recognise the best application spraying technologies for more precise, efficient and sustainable apple growing. 

The 2026 edition will focus on a theme that is currently crucial for the entire supply chain: spraying technology. This encompasses treatment application technologies, with a particular emphasis on advanced spraying systems, sensors, drones and digital tools capable of making products more targeted, efficient and sustainable. This choice addresses one of the most urgent challenges for the sector: the optimization of production factors to make them more precise and sustainable. Open exclusively to exhibitors, the Interpoma Award remains an international platform for visibility designed to showcase high-impact technological innovations capable of providing solutions to the sector’s evolving needs. 

Applications will be evaluated by a technical jury, composed of international academic experts. The winner will be announced at the end of the first day of the Interpoma Congress on Thursday, 26 November, before an international audience of trade professionals, buyers, researchers and industry stakeholders. The winner will receive a visibility package comprising various communication initiatives.

 “With the Interpoma Award 2026, we want to put the spotlight on one of the most topical and sensitive aspects for the future of apple growing: treatment application technologies. In a context where the sector is called upon to combine sustainability, efficiency and competitiveness, innovating how we operate in the field means taking a concrete step towards more responsible fruit growing. Interpoma was created to anticipate industry transformations, and in this sense, the Award represents a strategic tool for showcasing those solutions that can truly deliver a positive impact along the entire supply chain,” explains Massimo Tagliavini, Jury Chairman.
