embedded award 2022: These are the nominees

On 21st June 2022, the first day of the 20th anniversary of the embedded world Exhibition & Conference, the coveted prize will be presented at an award ceremony which will take place during the press tour. The award ceremony is regarded as a prestigious platform with a view to the future direction of embedded technologies. Once again, this year, outstanding technical developments and innovative products will be recognised.

In three weeks, the winners of this year's embedded awards will be announced. A large number of outstanding submissions were thoroughly reviewed by the jury, which is made up of international embedded industry experts and researchers, before an independent verdict was finally reached.

Professor Dr.-Ing. Axel Sikora, Chairman of the jury of the embedded world Exhibition Advisory Board and the Steering Board of the embedded world Conference, said: "We are all very pleased that so many innovative and excellent ideas were submitted for the embedded awards again this year. He continues with emphasising that "it was not easy for us to decide on the nominees from all the trend-setting and excellent products. This also demonstrates that the embedded community is becoming stronger, larger and more willing to innovate. We are looking forward to announcing the winner on the first day of the exhibition. But this much can be revealed that this year it is not only small companies presenting innovative ideas, but also large global companies that are pushing their innovative system approaches."
