The Benchmark Innovation Awards 2022 showcases organisations that are taking inventive approaches in the security sector to help find solutions for a complex and changing environment, with specific needs.
Some solutions are allowing us to gather richer and more in-depth data, using AI and better video technologies; others are opening opportunities to create hybrid solutions to bridge the gap. Think of products you have personally used or recommended and what made yo think they were the best for the job.
If you are a manufacturer or you provide a solution that you think is worthy of a nomination, please go ahead and enter.
At the Innovation Awards we aim to find those pioneering pieces of the security puzzle that have pushed through known limitations, by creating new solutions, or by redefining what the issue is altogether and then stepping up to solve it.
Please don’t confuse innovation with Invention – there are many inventions that don’t get to push the boundaries and offer an innovative solution. We are looking for companies that have gone from common thinking and traditional products to thinking outside the box, using interoperability and pushing the boundaries of what’s is so far known as possible.
