        Technology Innovator of the Year

        ** NEW **

        This category recognises the importance of technology in the Residential space, with an emphasis on how residents are directly benefiting from technology in action. The award will go to a standout technology supplier who has developed a product specifically for the residential property sector, or an operator using technology in an innovative way within their residential units to transform their residents’ occupancy, either directly or indirectly. Examples of this could include technology that directly enhances the everyday living experience of tenants, or more indirect benefits such as reducing the overall emissions of the unit, or creating a wider, positive environmental impact that residents will, perhaps unknowingly, benefit from. Judges will consider the usability of the tech, the extent of impact, the challenges that may have been overcome during implementation, and overall, what makes the technology so ground-breaking and innovative compared to similar offerings on the market.

        To be eligible, entries must relate to the past year: 01 January 2023 – 31 December 2023 To enter, please submit a 750-word summary on why you feel you should win this award.

        When reviewing your submission, the judges will be looking for evidence of the following:

        • Genuine innovation and disruption

        • Strong financial performance

        • The transformative impact on the residential sector

        • How the technology has directly (and indirectly) benefited residents

        • Positive engagement with the industry and end-user

        • The challenges faced, and overcome

        • How the tech has performed against expectations

        • Inclusivity, both in the design of and the implementation of the tech
