Innovation celebrated at MICE awards night – BeanScene

Exhibitors at the 2026 Melbourne International Coffee Expo (MICE) have been celebrated at the Product Innovation Awards, recognising the ideas, creativity, and forward-thinking solutions shaping the future of the industry.

The awards give MICE exhibitors the chance to showcase their newest products to the wide-ranging audience with the requirement that they help enhance and improve the current preparation, service or product range on the market.

All finalists were judged by an independent panel of industry leaders and association partners.
