“The Wearable Awards 2016 seek to recognise the excellence in wearable, smart device and IoT innovation and identify the best innovators in the market. Last year, more than 200 entries were received across eight categories. For 2016 we have expanded the categories to reflect the interest and excitement in new technologies spanning differing sectors of product and service excellence,” said John Weir, COO, Wearable Technology Show.
