2026 IoT Digital Twin Innovation Award

Submission overview

The 2026 IoT Digital Twin Innovation Award recognizes technologies and platforms that connect physical systems to dynamic digital models for deeper visibility, simulation, and decision-making. As connected environments grow more complex, digital twins are helping organizations better understand assets, processes, and infrastructure by pairing real-world data with intelligent virtual representations.

This award honors the solutions advancing digital twin capabilities across industrial, infrastructure, transportation, building, energy, and other connected environments. From real-time monitoring and predictive optimization to simulation and scenario planning, the most impactful innovations help organizations improve performance, reduce risk, and make smarter operational decisions.

If your solution uses connected data to model assets, simulate scenarios, improve planning, or optimize real-world systems through digital twin technology, this award is designed to recognize that work.

This award is a great fit if your solution

• Connects real-world assets or systems to dynamic digital models
• Uses IoT data to power simulation, monitoring, or predictive optimization
• Improves operational visibility, performance, or planning through digital twin technology
• Supports infrastructure, industrial, building, transportation, or energy use cases
• Helps organizations make smarter decisions through virtual system intelligence
