- Big data, cloud and analytics
- Connected consumer and smart home
- Connected health and wearable tech
- Industry and construction
- Research and development or new launch
- Retail, marketing and hospitality
- Securing IoT
- Smart cities, government and utilities.
Under the broader Business Excellence banner sit two more categories: IoT Executive of the Year, and Start-up, Business Development or Ecosystem of the Year.
To be eligible for consideration by the judges, your product, service or Business Excellence nominee, needs to have been in pilot, test or fully operative between January 2025 and January 2026.
There is no limit to the number of categories you can enter.

The 2026 panel of judges is comprised of: Matt Hatton and Jim Morrish of Transforma Insights, Barbara Pareglio of the GSMA, Satyajit Sinha of IoT Analytics, Robin Duke-Woolley of Beecham Research, Amanda Brock of OpenUK, Marc Einstein of Counterpoint Research, Steffen Sorrell of Kaleido Intelligence, Bee Hayes-Thakore of Kigen, industrial IoT advisor Kai Hackbarth, Phil Todd of TecFutures, and IoT Now’s managing editor, George Malim.
Visibility where your buyers already are
The associated publicity around an IoT Global Awards shortlisting, puts your name front and centre in the awareness of operators, enterprise buyers, integrators and OEMs who are actively reading and researching across the IoT industry’s core publications and channels.
With nearly a decade of experience in the global IoT market and a powerful media partner network with a combined audience of 200,000+ IoT professionals, no other group of brands* than those behind the IoT Global Awards programme, can offer you equalled exposure or reach.
Credibility that shortens sales cycles
It goes without saying that even a shortlisting from a panel of independent, senior analysts and industry players is a powerful, external validation of your business and your product.
Put yourself in the running and ensure that your entry hits the list of nominees before close of business on Friday 11 September.
