Thanks to The Future Tech Awards, the confusion of 2020 seems to have eased considerably: while CES 2021 captures the hearts and minds of innovators and enthusiasts, our virtual "Innovation Week" is also taking place.

Here, The Future Tech Awards have provided a venue for the bright sparks of 2020 to shine as we look to the future. Thanks to our sponsors HP Inc, Roborock, Thermaltake, Tello, and Wondershare, we are proud to present this year's winners.

The Future Tech Awards event is divided into three categories:

Each year, Future has a huge amount of new technology on hand for review. From large 4K displays and compact smartphones to smart cars and smart vacuum cleaners; the latter may not be as common at PCG, but Future has its eyes on some strange gadgets across the board.

Some of these gadgets and software are truly outstanding and utterly groundbreaking, others are not. But, you know, a truly outstanding vacuum cleaner is still a great thing. There are many people who have made this industry great. In honor of their efforts, the Future Tech Awards were born. It's a chance for us to step back and recognize the people at the forefront of our industry and the great products and companies that represent them.

"We are delighted that, contrary to our expectations, technology is expanding and advancing at an unprecedented rate, and 2020 has seen the launch of many amazing new products, including computers, phones, speakers, games, and home automation. This year's Future Tech Awards, in an all-digital format, will commemorate these advances and effectively set the stage for an even bolder 2021."

"Smart home technology can really help this year, when many people are spending more time at home as a result of the pandemic. For example, robotic vacuum cleaners can help keep floors clean of dust, and smart door locks can take the hassle out of handling keys and prevent the risk of bringing viruses into the home," explained Andy Knight, head of brand for Robolock. From temperature control to voice assistants, smart home devices remove many frustrating chores and "must-do" tasks, leaving people free to focus on what brings them joy.

As technology makes home life more convenient, we can turn our attention to more enjoyable and productive activities. Entertainment was at the top of the list last year, and after a rather rough year, people desperately needed to unwind. Streaming video, of course, is one thing, but gaming has also been booming lately.

In response to that popularity, Thermaltake has chosen to expand its premium gaming products." We decided to create a gaming series that offers users the highest level of gaming and competitiveness while providing enjoyment on all levels: visual, auditory, and tactile. the ARGENT series is based on the concept of creating an ecosystem, where hardware, software, and even illumination The ARGENT series is designed to create an ecosystem where hardware, software, and even illumination can evolve to the most advanced level. It is a truly immersive gaming and art experience," said Kenny Lin, CEO of Thermaltake.

Consuming entertainment content is not the only way people spend their time. Some people create content themselves as a way to entertain themselves and others, and Wondershare has been working to make that creative ability as easy as ever. We are dedicated to simplifying the video creation process so that users can free up time for creativity," said Tobee Wu, CEO of Wondershare. Whether you are a YouTube creator, a small business owner, or simply someone who makes great videos for friends and family, the all-new Wondershare Filmora X will change the way creators interact with video editing."
