LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Belkin, a leading consumer electronics brand for 40 years, was honored in Fast Company’s Innovation by Design Awards for 2024 in the Product category.
The Innovation by Design Awards, which can be found in the Summer 2024 issue of Fast Company, honor the designers and businesses solving the most crucial problems of today and anticipating the pressing issues of tomorrow. The competition, now in its 13th year, features a range of blue-chip companies, emerging startups, and promising young talent. It is one of the most sought-after design awards in the industry.
When creatives and professionals such as educators, virtual presenters, and social app developers need to capture dynamic movements and interactive content, a camera crew would be ideal, but it is not always accessible. Belkin’s Stage Auto-Tracking Stand Pro eliminates this hassle, providing automatic camerawork to get every move, anywhere in frame, whether using Camera app, FaceTime, Instagram, TikTok, Canva, WhatsApp, Microsoft Teams or other social media apps or video conferencing platforms.
“Our Stand Pro is a groundbreaking product for Belkin. It’s the result of extensive engineering, design, and testing efforts that have come together for an engaging, intriguing new product experience. As with all Belkin products, it is created with responsible manufacturing methods at high quality, backed with all certifications. It offers reliable, smooth, quiet iPhone movement for magical new iPhone camera interaction," stated Oliver Seil, Vice President of Design at Belkin. "We're proud of our innovation teams and honored to be recognized by Fast Company among the world's leaders in thoughtful design.”
“This year’s honorees show how essential creativity is to the process of innovation,” said Brendan Vaughan, editor-in-chief of Fast Company. “It’s inspiring to see how some of the best minds across industries are using design to shape our world for the better.”
The judges include renowned designers from a variety of disciplines, business leaders from some of the most innovative companies in the world, and Fast Company’s own writers and editors. Entries are judged on the key ingredients of innovation: functionality, originality, beauty, sustainability, user insight, cultural impact, and business impact.
Winners, finalists, and honorable mentions are featured online, and winners and finalists are featured in the Summer issue of Fast Company magazine, on newsstands July 30, 2024.
