- Emerging Small Enterprises: Caimi Brevetti for the Flap acoustic absorption panel designed by Alberto and Francesco Meda.
- Industry: Thule IP AB for a Thule design with the help of Veryday Design, for the Thule Urban Glide running stroller. A finalist in this category was the Spanish company RAVAL for its bike rack, with Escofet 1886 as holder of the design and Gerard Arqué and Martin Caneda as designers.
- Professional Career: This award went to Giorgetto Giugiaro, a well-known designer of over 200 models of vehicles for brands such as Audi, Volkswagen and Seat as well as for Korean, Japanese and Chinese companies. Amongst others, he designed such famous cars as the Maserati 3200 GT, the Volkswagen Golf and the Fiat Panda.
