SPE's Automotive Innovation Awards Program (IAG) is the oldest and largest competition of its kind in the world. While there are no monetary prizes, all participants are winners by virtue of being able to showcase their company's technology to a global audience. Dozens of teams made up of OEM's, tier suppliers and polymer producers submit nominations describing their part, system, or complete vehicle, and why it merits the claim as "The Year's Most Innovative Use of Plastic".
