Worldwide Automotive & Electric Vehicle Innovation Awards

Consumer expectations in the automotive sector are changing. Emissions targets are tightening, software is becoming as important as hardware, and electric propulsion is transforming vehicle design from the ground up.

The DaVinci Awards® celebrate products that demonstrate exceptional technical achievement and meaningful real-world impact within the automotive and electric vehicle sectors.

We welcome submissions from vehicle manufacturers, component suppliers, software developers, startups, design studios, and engineering teams whose work is pushing the boundaries in areas including safety, driving efficiency & range, vehicle maintenance, or environmental impact.

Whether your innovation improves everyday driving, supports commercial fleets, enables cleaner transport, or unlocks entirely new mobility options, the DaVinci Awards® judges want to see your work.

The DaVinci Awards recognizes outstanding feats of human ingenuity, and product innovation. Entries are welcomed from individuals, teams, startups, or established enterprises based anywhere in the world. Areas of interest include, but are certainly not limited to:

Breakthrough automotive products rarely emerge from a single technical advance. Explain how your innovation brings together engineering, software, materials, manufacturing, or design to achieve something that conventional approaches could not. Judges will be interested in the originality of your thinking as much as the sophistication of the technology itself.

Set the context for your innovation by describing the challenge it addresses. Your product may improve efficiency, safety, reliability, sustainability, user experience, or operational performance. Help the judges understand why this problem matters and demonstrate the measurable improvements achieved through testing, deployment, or commercial adoption.

Describe how your innovation can extend beyond its first application. Judges will look for products capable of supporting broader vehicle platforms, different markets, or future mobility trends. Explain how your solution is positioned to remain relevant as automotive technologies evolves and the lasting influence it could have on the wider industry.

Winners may make full use of The DaVinci Awards® hallmark of excellence, linked to your level of accreditation, on all relevant materials.

All winners also receive a DaVinci Awards® trophy, and substantial press opportunities working in partnership with our editorial team. Find out more.
