About the Advanced Technology Award

Founded in 1986, the Advanced Technology Award aims to cultivate creativity and originality among engineering students while enhancing their research motivation. Following the 16th award cycle, the name was changed to the "Innovation-Promoting Advanced Technology Award" to align with national efforts toward establishing a 'Scientific and Technological Creative Nation.' This evolution signifies the importance of collaboration among government, academia, and industry in nurturing young technical experts.

The 38th iteration divided the submissions into two categories: the Student Division (including technical college students, university students, and graduate students) and the Working Adult Division (targeting young researchers affiliated with companies, universities, and research institutions). Among a multitude of submissions, rigorous reviews determined the award recipients, emphasizing the quality and impact of the presented innovations.
