Your prototype must be able to move freely while carrying packages. One representative from each of the three finalists will be flown to the DHL Innovation Center in Troisdorf, Germany to present their prototypes at the DHL Innovation Day (17th November 2016). Airfare and accommodation expenses will be covered by DHL to attend the DHL Innovation Day
