Announcing the 2023 NED Innovation Award Winners!

Nov. 29, 2023
You voted, and now here are the winners and finalists for the 2023 NED Innovation Awards.

We are excited to announce our 2023 NED Innovation Award winners!

The tools, components, and equipment published in NED represent real advancements for the industry. They represent real creativity, real risks, and real R&D power that puts engineering to the test.

In this respect, every issue of NED and every new day's posts on NewEquipment.com is a celebration of the most innovative products on the market.

But we like to take things even further than that.

Seven years ago, we launched the NED Innovation Awards—an annual contest that digs through the thousands of innovative new products we published over the course of 12 months to determine those few that best represent the potential in the market. Products that fundamentally change their markets, crush limitations of their product class, and redefine design possibilities. In other words, products that provide real potential for disruptive change.

But we decided to make some changes. Instead of us picking out what we feel is worthy of the innovation title, we turned it to you, the manufacturers, to tell us what you feel is deserving of that name.

I feel that’s truly important; Letting our vast network of committed workers and experts out in the field log in to rank their picks as not just the best examples of innovation, but those with the most potential for practical implementation of them.

So, thank you for aiding us in this effort, and with that, it is now our pleasure to introduce you to the 2023 NED Innovation Awards winners.
