Masters & Robots

Awards 2025

The contest is open to individuals, startups, tech companies, educational entities, innovators, and visionary leaders contributing to innovative projects in various fields within the Polish market.

We welcome a wide spectrum of innovative projects across various domains. This includes tech innovations, digital experiences, social impact initiatives, green tech endeavors, leadership contributions, AI collaborations, innovative culture initiatives, and global transformation projects.
Ideal submissions demonstrate clear innovation and measurable impact in their respective fields. Projects should align with at least one of our award categories.

If your project drives meaningful change in how organizations operate, engage with customers, collaborate with technology, or contribute to society, we’d love to see it! The most competitive submissions typically showcase tangible results, innovative approaches to challenges, and potential for future growth or scalability.

You can submit your application in either Polish or English.

There are no strict format requirements for your pitch file. You can submit it as a PowerPoint presentation (PPTX), PDF document, video, or any other format that best showcases your project. The primary purpose of this file is to effectively demonstrate the value of your project to the jury members. We encourage you to choose the format that most clearly communicates your innovation, impact, and alignment with the Masters&Robots Awards criteria. What matters most is the content and how well it highlights your project’s strengths rather than adhering to a specific template or structure.

The Masters of Future-Proof Leadership category is specifically designed for individuals rather than organizations or projects. This award celebrates leaders who achieve exceptional business results while inspiring others, promoting positive industry change, and contributing to technological advancement that benefits society.

Importantly, candidates for this category don’t have to apply themselves – they can also be nominated by colleagues, team members, or other individuals who recognize their leadership excellence. This means if you know an outstanding leader driving digital transformation and inspiring positive change, you can submit a nomination on their behalf.
Ideal candidates include CEOs and founders of technology companies, digital transformation leaders, innovation directors, CTOs, change management executives, and technological visionaries who demonstrate exceptional future-oriented leadership.

The Excellence Award is a special category that distinctively celebrates Polish companies and organizations demonstrating exceptional achievements in innovation and technology on the global stage. What sets this category apart is its explicit focus on recognizing entities that strengthen Poland’s position on the international innovation map.

This special award takes on additional significance during the 2025 competition as it aligns perfectly with the goals of Poland’s EU Presidency. Under the patronage of the Minister for EU Affairs, this category highlights how Polish technological thought leadership contributes to European innovation priorities. It showcases Poland’s innovative potential to European partners while emphasizing the country’s role in shaping the continent’s technological future.

Ideal candidates include Polish startups and scaleups building global recognition, technology companies with international success stories, and organizations leveraging Polish technological expertise to develop solutions with global reach. The Excellence Award represents the intersection of national innovation excellence and European leadership during this important period of Poland’s EU Presidency.
