SUBMIT YOUR ENTRY
TAKE THE SPOTLIGHT
Show what makes your solution stand out. Submit your entry, explain its impact, and let the E-commerce Germany Awards highlight your work to the industry
SHOW YOUR IMPACT
Most e-commerce contests celebrate online shops - their products, design, UX, growth, and media reach. But who actually makes all this possible? Behind every successful online shop stand the solutions that help it run, perform, scale, and expand. And these solutions come from service providers - the backbone of the entire industry. That’s why the E-commerce Germany Awards were created: the first contest in the DACH region dedicated exclusively to service provider solutions. A programme that recognises the tools, technologies, and expertise moving e-commerce forward every day.
We’re looking for solutions that truly move e-commerce forward: products with measurable impact, proven effectiveness, or a fresh, innovative approach. If your technology helps companies work smarter, grow faster, or solve real operational challenges - this is the place to show it.
