​The 5th annual HardTech Awards are recognizing the engineers, designers, and visionaries driving real-world impact through commercialized hardware innovation.

​After a nomination campaign that launched in January in Vegas, it's time to announce the next batch of world-changers in what's becoming the largest recognition platform in intelligent and connected hardware development.

​Let the HardTech Awards be your "home for hardware" during Web Summit Vancouver, and join us for some hands-on demos, interactive art, and a definitive gathering of technical excellence from across North America.
