On 10 March 2026, the embedded world Exhibition&Conference once again celebrated the most forward thinking developments in the embedded technologies sector. This year, more than 110 submissions were entered into the competition. From these, the jury selected 27 products across nine award categories, culminating in the announcement of nine winners during an official award ceremony.
“The innovative spirit within the embedded community remains impressive in 2026. We are witnessing a continuous convergence of technologies: AI capabilities are increasingly moving to the edge, vision systems are becoming more intelligent, and highly sophisticated hardware is achieving new levels of efficiency and scalability. This interplay of developments makes the current momentum particularly fascinating,” says Prof. Dr.-Ing. Axel Sikora, Chairman of the embedded world Conference and member of the embedded award jury. “What also stands out is how companies tackle similar technical challenges from entirely different angles – often with clever and highly distinctive approaches.”
The more than 110 submissions reflected the full spectrum of the industry: contributions came from established global players, specialized smaller companies, and ambitious start-ups alike. The seven-member jury began its evaluation process in mid January, selecting three nominees per category. The winners were then unveiled and honored during a public award ceremony.
