Innovation doesn't stand still in industrial automation and engineering. New technologies emerge, product capabilities expand, and companies continually find new ways to solve longstanding challenges and address changing market demands.

That steady pace of innovation is exactly why the annual EDGE Awards matter. They provide an opportunity to recognize the companies and products moving their industries forward—and to put those innovations in front of the professionals who need to know about them.

What makes the EDGE Awards particularly meaningful is who determines the winners. The recognition doesn't come from editors at the participating EndeavorB2B publications. It comes from readers themselves. Professionals across Machine Design, Electronic Design, Power & Motion, Microwaves & RF, Military + Aerospace Electronics, Automation World, Control Design and Control vote for entries spanning 16 different categories.

Why should companies enter each year? Visibility is a big part of the answer. The EDGE Awards give nominees and winners opportunities to reach industry decision-makers through the participating brands' magazines, newsletters and websites. For companies looking to establish themselves as technology leaders or introduce products to new markets, that exposure can be especially valuable.

Being named an EDGE Awards honoree also provides third-party validation from an established group of industry publications. Companies can use that recognition to reinforce the value of their products with existing customers, build credibility with prospective buyers and give sales teams another compelling reason to start a conversation.

So consider submitting your product or technology for the 2027 EDGE Awards, powered by QNX. We've already seen some terrific entries, and we're looking forward to discovering—and showcasing—the next wave of innovation.
