Wilo Pioneer Award 2026: Developing projects for tomorrow together
The responsible use of water is a central theme of the Wilo Pioneer Award.
For more than 150 years, we have been working on solutions for various applications in water supply and usage. But true progress is only possible together: with the people who use our solutions in their everyday lives.
With the Wilo Pioneer Award, we celebrate the projects of our customers and partners that demonstrate remarkable approaches to dealing with water through the Wilo solutions they use.
Award-winning projects
The Wilo Pioneer Award celebrates projects that improve quality of life across our three impact areas: Creating, Caring, and Connecting – through Wilo solutions used, documented project measures and cooperation with project partners.
The focus is on water as a resource. Whether water technology for digital and AI-related applications, solutions for water supply and disposal, hygiene solutions or air conditioning and heating technology: we are looking for projects that show new approaches and convince through cooperation and practical solutions.
