Winners of the 2020 IoT World Awards Announced

Winners of the second-annual IoT World Awards were announced on Wednesday, August 12, 2020, at the Internet of Things World conference. The awards series celebrates innovative individuals, teams, organizations and partnerships that advance IoT technologies, deployments and ecosystems. 

This year, there were more than 600 nominations for the awards. Entrants spanned the Internet of Things ecosystem, from industrial IoT technology to edge computing and consumer offerings, as well as deployments in several industry sectors. More than 80 companies and individuals were selected as finalists before 16 winners were crowned.  

A panel of judges from Omdia, Informa Tech and the industry chose the winners of the core awards based on the entries’ innovation, market traction and other factors. The panel evaluated nominations in January 2020, and the IoT World Awards shortlist was published in February 2020. Two leadership awards were also selected based on votes from almost 5,000 industry professionals.
