Wilo Pioneer Award 2026: Shaping the future together
Water is more than just a resource – it is our shared responsibility.
Every single day, we dedicate ourselves to using water efficiently and sustainably. But true progress is only possible together: it is the people who apply our solutions who make a real difference in the world. For more than 150 years, we have shared this pioneering spirit – and together, we continue to improve quality of life for people around the globe.
With the Wilo Pioneer Award, we honour innovative projects by our customers and partners that, through intelligent solutions and genuine pioneering spirit in dealing with water, are setting new standards.
Enter your project into the Wilo Pioneer Award by 15 September 2026 for your chance to win!
Pioneering projects
The Wilo Pioneer Award recognises projects that improve quality of life across our three impact areas: Creating, Caring, and Connecting – through intelligent Wilo solutions, responsible action, and strong partnerships.
At the heart of it all is the world’s most precious resource: water.
We are looking for projects that truly make a difference – whether through intelligent water technology enabling the digital and AI age, efficient water supply and wastewater disposal, modern hygiene innovations, water-saving initiatives, or future-oriented air conditioning and heating technology.
What unites all these efforts? Innovation, partnership, and vision.
Demonstrate how your contribution is making a positive impact on people and our planet for your chance to win!
