• THE INTERNATIONAL AUTOMOBILE INNOVATION AWARDS

The year's 24 most innovative products and services will be showcased along a "discovery" trail, designed to be both educational and entertaining.

A host will introduce the "favourites", explaining why they were chosen by the 80 journalist members of the jury.

Innovation will also have its place in the presentation style for the innovations: the "sensory wall", using amazing image-manipulation technology will be on show in halls 1 and 6.
