We are proud to play a role in increasing the awareness of these technologies and look forward to watching these companies continue to grow and innovate.”

This year’s winners are headquartered in two countries, Israel and the U.S. In the U.S., six of the winners are based in California, three in New York, two in Virginia, and one each in Massachusetts, Michigan, Washington State, and Oregon.
