An “innovation” is defined as any service, facility, product or process that improves service or business management. The main criterion is that the entry is innovative to the industry and provides benefit. Innovations available in overseas industries will be considered if they have been adapted in some way to suit the Australasian self storage industry and the nominating SSAA member has been involved in that adaptation.
