June 8, 2012 - PRLog -- AIDF is a leading global event for NGOs, governments, intergovernmental organisations, aid agencies and the UN to meet in order to share best practices, debate key issues in the aid and international development sector, exhibit new technologies and services, and create new partnerships.

This year, visitors were asked to vote on the ‘Best Stand’ and ‘Most Innovative Product’. Best Stand was won by Compassion Shelters by Versi-Panel Enclosures, closely followed by the Maryland Institute College of Art and IPA/Rockbuster.  Compassion Shelters are multi use disaster relief shelters.

Kevin Kvols, Founder said “I am so honoured and touched. It has been a wonderful show and have met great people. “

The Leading Edge Group, Ltd won the Most Innovative Product award for their compressed soil block machines that turn soil into sustainable construction blocks – ideal for housing in developing countries.  Runners up were Aquamira for ‘Divvywater’ and GATR for their inflatable Satcom terminals.

Winner, Jimmy Allen, Owner of Leading Edge Group said “We’re absolutely thrilled, it was something we were not anticipating or expecting and it is a testament to the quality of product that we’ve got and we appreciate the recognition.”
