## Key Facts

| Award programme | [Edison Awards](https://techstartup.directory/awards/edison-awards/) |
| Edition year | 2026 |

## Recorded results

The named products include Samsung Vision AI Companion, Prognosis Monitoring System, Cisco AI Assistant, Waymo Driver, Tenor and XREAL One Series AR Glasses. Their categories span media experiences, predictive infrastructure, workflow, autonomous driving, computing infrastructure and extended reality. Each product is shown with its complete recorded category. [1](#source-1)

## Reading the recognition

The range of technologies makes the category boundary especially useful. A Gold result in autonomous driving does not create a comparable ranking against a Gold result in computing infrastructure or extended reality. The shared tier describes the recognition level, while the category explains the context in which it was recorded.

## Programme and coverage

This briefing covers the six available entries from the 2026 edition. Product capabilities and real-world outcomes remain separate from the award record.
