For the first time, nine award categories at the embedded award 2025

The embedded award honours outstanding innovations at the embedded world Exhibition&Conference. The seven-member expert jury sifted through around 130 submissions for this year's competition. The award will be presented in nine specialist disciplines during a networking event on the first day of the trade fair.

“It was not only the large number of submissions, with which the exhibitors once again set a record, but also the high quality that made our jury's heads spin. But it is fascinating to see how innovations are being successfully driven forward in all disciplines of the embedded systems world. It is particularly pleasing that the new Electronic Displays category was immediately very well received. A sign that we have taken the right step by including the ninth category,” emphasises jury chairman Prof. Axel Sikora.

community choice award 

“The community choice award was launched last year, and we are delighted to be able to present this special award at ew25,” explains Benedikt Weyerer, Executive Director of embedded world. 

The winner of the community choice award has a very special honour because, as the name suggests, this award involves the embedded community. In contrast to the specialist disciplines – where the jury of experts determines the winner – every trade fair participant can vote for their favourite of the 27 nominated products in the community choice award.

Voting for the community choice award is still possible until 11 March 2025, 4 pm.
