International Competition · 2026
Your Technology Deserves a Bigger Stage.
The next breakthrough could come from a university lab, a startup, an independent inventor or a student working on an idea the world has yet to see.
The World Future Technologies Competition invites innovators, researchers, engineers, inventors and technology teams worldwide to present their technologies to an international jury and compete for recognition.
Whether you are developing an intelligent system, building a robot, advancing clean energy or exploring the next frontier of computing, this is your opportunity to put your work forward.
