Supply Chain Innovation Award 2026
Call for Submissions: May 12, – June 12, 2026
INTRODUCTION
In an era of constant change, supply chains have demonstrated resilience and adaptability, meeting rising customer demands while navigating disruptions like COVID-19. Supply chain leaders who showcase their achievements not only drive success within their organizations but also inspire and advance the industry by sharing their stories.
For over 20 years, the Supply Chain Innovation Award™ (SCIA) has celebrated teams worldwide for their groundbreaking solutions, offering global recognition at CSCMP’s EDGE Conference.
HOW IT WORKS
Each year, supply chain innovators submit case studies highlighting "Innovation in Action." A panel of experts from CSCMP’s Research Strategies Committee (RSC) and SupplyChainBrain magazine selects top submissions as finalists. These teams present their cases virtually and live at EDGE, where the winner is announced.
If your team has developed impactful supply chain innovations, submit your story to the SCIA competition and gain industry-wide recognition.
