The Electronic Security Expo (ESX)—the national trade event where electronic security and life safety dealers, integrators, and monitoring professionals connect, learn, and prepare for the future — announced the names of 25 companies selected as winners of the ESX 2015 Innovation Awards.
The ESX Innovation Awards honor industry products and services for their innovative technology, design or application. Winners were selected by a panel of judges who evaluated the products and services entered for their potential to help security and life safety professionals run, grow, and maximize their businesses, as well as rethink the future.
All winners will be featured in the ESX 2015 Product Preview Brochure. Those wishing to learn more about these products and services up close can view the winners at ESX 2015 — both in each exhibitor’s booth and in the Innovation Awards Showcase on the show floor.
“Our winners represent the best of the best, we applaud them for driving our industry forward and improving both the end-user experience and our ability to run our companies efficiently and profitably,” said George De Marco, ESX chairman.
The ESX Innovation Awards judges have also chosen the 10 most innovative products and services from the field of ESX 2015 Innovation Award winners to compete in the ESX TechVision Challenge — a head-to-head judged competition in a “Shark Tank” style format. Each contestant will be given a few minutes behind closed doors to present their product or service before our “industry sharks.” The judges will challenge participants to “prove” why their new product or service is deserving of the title Best of Show. The names of the TechVision Challenge participants will be announced at a future date.
