The Innovation Awards honor those who are not afraid to ask what if — the inventors, creators, and thinkers who refuse to settle for ordinary and keep pushing boundaries to make the world a better place.

We recognize the innovative companies creating smarter solutions, the products improving work and everyday life, and the strategies helping businesses grow in new ways.
At Symbol Awards, we believe innovation is driven by purpose and powered by people. Because every idea that moves us forward is worth celebrating.
