Worldwide product innovation awards
Celebrating the world’s most innovative engineering products
Recognizing the products that build the physical foundations of our world – where structural integrity meets visionary design. The DaVinci Awards® for Product celebrates the breakthroughs in materials and engineering that set a new standard in how we build, use, and sustain our environments. Submit your nomination today.
how have you excelled?
At The DaVinci Awards® for Product, we are looking for the innovations that are transforming the built environment from the ground up.
From sustainable building materials and smart infrastructure components to modular construction systems, architectural software, and urban planning tools – innovation is the cornerstone of safer, smarter, and more inspiring spaces.
We’re looking for world-class examples of inventive manufacturing techniques, the pioneering use of “green” chemistry, imaginative integration of IoT in infrastructure, or the development of equipment that drastically improve efficiency and safety on-site.
If your product has bridged the gap between traditional craftsmanship and future-proof engineering, or set a new global benchmark for the construction industry, a DaVinci Award® could be yours for the taking.

Tell us what makes you stand out
Innovation may be shown through exceptional creativity and expertise in product design, engineering, or manufacturing process. This could be through pioneering materials, new production techniques, precision engineering, sustainable development, or the elevation of traditional construction methods through modern technology.
Material science: e.g., Development of self-healing materials, carbon-sequestering polymers, or ultra-lightweight structural composites that maintain or exceed traditional strength Structural ingenuity: e.g., Breakthroughs in modularity, tension-based systems, or mechanical components that allow for faster, safer, or more complex assembly Digital integration: e.g., Engineering products that natively integrate with digital threads, from embedded RFID for lifecycle tracking to software that optimizes material usageProduct nominees may focus on their meaningful advances in performance, usability, safety, or occupant experience. Innovations may have enhanced the way we interact with the built environment – by addressing urbanization challenges, environmental resilience, or accessibility through superior functionality, comfort, or efficient resource management.
Efficiency: Products that significantly reduce construction timelines, labor intensity, or site waste through intuitive design and engineering Environmental performance: Innovative products that drastically lower the operational energy footprint of a building or enhance the longevity of public infrastructure Human-centric design: How the product has improved the safety of workers, the well-being of occupants, or created more inclusive urban spaces through thoughtful engineeringNominees may have redefined industry expectations, influenced the direction of construction, or created new market opportunities. We celebrate innovations that challenge conventional thinking within the sector through bold positioning, emerging technologies, new circular models, or visionary approaches that shape the future of the built world.
Category creation: Introducing high-performance or sustainable standards into a product type or material class where innovation has traditionally been stagnant Modern reinterpretation: Evolving traditional building techniques or materials through ‘Industry 4.0’ technologies, such as 3D printing or automated pre-fabrication Industry influence: Altering the perception of ‘sustainable’ or ‘modular’ builds, redefining the value of resilience, or landing new innovations in the market that capture the imagination of planners and developersProduct Awards: Optional Sample Submission
In order to showcase your product to our judging team in the fullest, we accept product samples. This helps our judges test your product, and afford it a more detailed write-up should you win an award.
The Product Itself
Gives our judges a ‘hands on’ opportunity to test and evaluate the product.
A Product Demo
Send a recording of the product in action to give a feel for the product in use.
Guides & Materials
User guides, brochures, or other materials can help judges visualize the product in action.
Product samples of any kind are not a requirement, and those that do not provide one will not be penalized. All samples are withheld, and you must pay all shipping fees and relevant taxes. Indicate on your submission form if you would like to submit a sample, and our team will assist.
