Submissions are allowed from manufacturing end-user organizations only, i.e., organizations involved in design, production, service and installation of manufactured equipment to individuals and businesses. If you are not certain whether your institution meets the rules of eligibility, please email eoi@gartner.com and await our response.
To be eligible, a technology-related initiative must have been launched during the period of January 1, 2025, through May 15, 2026. Only submissions written in English will be accepted. The project or initiative could be in any stage of development, from a pilot to already having been launched as a product/service/initiative.
