Meet the 2023 IET Excellence and Innovation Award winners
The Excellence and Innovation Awards shine a spotlight on the ground-breaking innovations and best practices in engineering, science and technology, and the fantastic trailblazers who are changing the course of our future.
The 2023 ceremony was recently held at the Glasgow Science Centre in Scotland where we celebrated the engineers using science and technology to find solutions to the biggest challenges humankind is currently facing.
This year’s awards took place as part of our Powering Net Zero conference and for the first time, incorporated social and environmental impact across all the award categories.
Highlights included Robert Bamber, Tokamak Energy, winning Chief Engineer of the Year for demonstrating outstanding excellence and innovation in the field of engineering as well as championing equality, diversity and inclusion in engineering.
Cyanoskin, a living paint that efficiently absorbs CO2 and helps to combat the negative environmental impacts of urbanisation, was awarded the Net Zero and Climate Action Award.
