Inavation Awards 2025 winners revealed at Barcelona celebration

The Inavation Awards 2025 winners have been unveiled in a spectacular ceremony at MNAC, Barcelona, celebrating outstanding achievements in AV innovation, project excellence, and technology development.

With 27 awards up for grabs, competition was fierce across highly contested categories. The Technology Awards, which are voted for by Inavate magazine readers, recognised the most innovative products shaping the industry. In addition, TD Synnex Maverick was named Company of the Year, while Absen took home the prestigious Manufacturer of the Year title and First Impression audiovisual.

A highlight of ISE week, the Inavation Awards—powered by Inavate and ISE—once again brought the AV industry together for a night of recognition, networking, and celebration. Returning to the prestigious MNAC on February 1, the January 2025 event saw guests gather under the venue’s soaring dome for an unforgettable evening.

Anna Mitchell, group publisher of Inavate, praised the winners: “Becoming a finalist in the Inavation Awards is an exceptional achievement, given the intense competition. This year, we saw an unparalleled standard of project entries, making it incredibly difficult for the judges to select winners. To be crowned at this event is a true mark of excellence, and I congratulate all those who took home a trophy as well as all this year’s finalists.”

The ceremony, held in front of a full-capacity crowd, welcomed professionals from manufacturers, distributors, consultants, integrators, and end users—a true cross-section of the global AV industry.

Dan Jago, director of Inavate, extended his thanks to entrants and event sponsors: “Since its launch in 2007, the Inavation Awards has grown into a benchmark of success in the AV industry. Winning an award signifies achievement at the highest level. We’re only able to host an event of this calibre thanks to the continued support of our entrants and sponsors, who help drive innovation forward.”

Mike Blackman, MD of Integrated Systems Events, congratulated the winners and highlighted the awards’ role within ISE: “ISE is proud to be a dedicated partner of the Inavation Awards, a true highlight of the show and a key moment in the ISE calendar. While ISE transforms the Fira de Barcelona, it also extends far beyond the exhibition halls, with events like the Inavation Awards playing an essential role in recognising and celebrating AV excellence. Congratulations to all the finalists and winners who continue to push the boundaries of innovation.”
