Annual Celebration of Technology and Innovation
Honoring Technology and Innovation

Each year, Emory researchers push the boundaries of innovation, developing groundbreaking technologies with the potential to change the world. When these technologies are patented, licensed, and brought to market, it marks a significant milestone in advancing research and real-world impact.
Since its inception in 2007, this event has evolved to highlight exceptional contributions to innovation and commercialization. Each ceremony includes an awards presentation to honor superlative projects and researchers and a networking session focused on partnership and community-building.
In 2026, Emory OTT will present five awards honoring excellence in innovation:
- Innovation of the Year
- Deal of the Year
- Start-up of the Year
- Significant Event of the Year
- Corporate Partnership Award
At Emory, innovation is more than discovery — it’s about translating ideas into impact. Join us as we recognize the visionaries driving technology forward.
