Award ceremony in Stuttgart for the first time

The IFOY AWARD Night will take place in Baden-Württemberg for the first time. On June 25, 2026, the trophies of the International Intralogistics and Forklift Truck of the Year (IFOY) AWARD will be presented at the headquarters of software provider AEB in Stuttgart. Around 200 international guests from business, science and the media are expected to attend the awards ceremony.

The venue is the AEB building, which won the German Design Award 2020 for “Excellent Architecture”. The open atrium and the modern office concept stand for creativity, exchange and a culture of innovation and have already provided space for numerous IT and logistics events.

“The IFOY AWARD recognizes cutting-edge technologies and brings together the thought leaders in intralogistics. This is a perfect fit for AEB and its open architecture,” says Anita Würmser, Executive Jury Chairwoman of the IFOY AWARD.

The IFOY AWARD Night has previously been held at venues including BMW Welt in Munich and the Hofburg in Vienna. With AEB as host, the 2026 event will combine award-winning architecture with a living culture of innovation in Stuttgart for the first time. AEB Managing Director Markus Meißner emphasizes: “We look forward to welcoming the international logistics community and discussing the future of the industry together.”
