In 2021, the Award was held for the first time in an experimental format - on the fields of the 23rd International Exhibition on Water Treatment Technologies, Energy Technologies and Environmental Protection WETEX-2021 in Dubai (UAE). This format allowed to bring the competition project to the international platform, to attract foreign companies to participate, and to publicise the project in the world media. To date, the International Award "Small Energy - Great Achievements" has consolidated its status as one of the most authoritative international competitions in the industry.
