NeuGroup is pleased to announce SAP Taulia as the inaugural sponsor of the 2026 Working Capital Innovation Awards, a new recognition program celebrating excellence and innovation across treasury, procurement, supply chain and finance. The awards will highlight teams that are rethinking established practices, collaborating across traditional functional boundaries and delivering meaningful improvements in liquidity, resilience, efficiency and enterprise value.
Recognizing the teams shaping what comes next
Effective working capital management is no longer the responsibility of a single function. It increasingly requires treasury, procurement, supply chain, accounts payable, accounts receivable and credit and collections teams to align around shared objectives.
The NeuGroup 2026 Working Capital Innovation Awards are designed to recognize the practitioners leading that evolution—and to share their experiences with the wider finance community.
Nominations are now open across five categories:
- Treasury–Procurement Partnership: Cross-functional initiatives that improve payment terms, supplier relationships and procure-to-pay performance.
- Supply Chain Resilience: Programs that expand access to financing and liquidity, including support for smaller or underserved suppliers.
- Technology Transformation: The use of automation, artificial intelligence and integrated data to reinvent working capital processes and decision-making.
- Sustainable Working Capital: Solutions that connect working capital programs and commercial terms with measurable sustainability outcomes.
- Working Capital Leadership: Governance models that elevate working capital management into an enterprise-wide strategic discipline.
Independent evaluation and industry recognition
An independent council of corporate practitioners and industry experts will evaluate submissions based on the strength and originality of the approach, the scope of its application and its measurable impact. Self-nominations and nominations of colleagues or peers are equally welcome.
Submissions may demonstrate results such as liquidity unlocked, increased supply chain resilience, lower costs, shorter cycle times, stronger supplier participation or lasting improvements to working capital governance.
Selected honorees will be recognized publicly and featured in a NeuGroup research report distributed across the NeuGroup Network and the broader finance community this fall.
