Edison Awards 2026 · Gold Winner

Innovation is not about technology.
It is about impact.
BEC1GO™ wins GOLD.

The Edison Awards — one of the world's most respected honors for innovation — has awarded artisJet Gold in the Commercial Technology category, Immersive & Interactive Experiences. This is not a recognition of what BEC1GO™ could become. It is a recognition of what it already does — in the real world, for real people, at scale.

What the Edison Awards Actually Recognize

Since 1987, the Edison Awards have honored innovation that combines technical achievement with real-world impact. Named after Thomas Edison — an inventor who measured success not by patents, but by usefulness — the award specifically seeks solutions that are market-ready, deployable, and meaningful to people's lives.

It is not a prize for the most complex technology. It is a prize for the technology that works — out in the field, in the hands of operators, in front of audiences, across industries and borders.

This framing is exactly why BEC1GO™ belongs here. In a world that does not lack high technology — where R&D labs are everywhere — what is rare is the ability to integrate technology meaningfully into real workflows, real spaces, and real human experiences. That is what BEC1GO™ does.

BEC1GO™: Market-Ready from Day One

BEC1GO™ is artisJet's 3-in-1 print technology ecosystem — designed to deliver immersive, interactive, and tactile print experiences across a unified workflow. It is not a prototype. It is not a concept. It has been deployed across industries, demonstrated at international events, and validated by operators and partners on multiple continents.

• Immersive & multi-sensory print experiences — visible, tactile, and interactive
• Unified workflow — UV flatbed, DTF, and specialty effects in one ecosystem
• Inclusive design — tactile applications including Braille and accessibility signage
• Scalable for commercial deployment — not limited to lab or demo environments
• Built for operators — easy to run, easy to train, easy to grow with
• Supported by a global ecosystem of partners, resellers, and application teams

The Edison Awards Gold recognition is independent, third-party validation of exactly this: a technology that is ready, proven, and impactful.

How BEC1GO™ Reaches the Market

BEC1GO™ is not one machine — it is an experience architecture built around a family of artisJet printers, each serving a specific market application. Here is where it shows up and what it delivers:

The Real Measure: Impact

Innovation is not measured by the complexity of the engineering behind it. It is measured by what changes in the world because of it.

BEC1GO™ changes what a brand can say — not just with a logo, but with a surface that can be felt. It changes what a sign can do — not just direct, but engage. It changes what a moment can become — not just a transaction, but an experience that is remembered.

• Operators across continents running BEC1GO™ as a commercial service — not a demo
• Partners expanding into new verticals with immersive print as a differentiator
• Brands discovering that print is not just communication — it is sensation
• Accessibility applications — Braille, tactile signage — where print serves human dignity
• Creative professionals unlocking multi-sensory dimensions their tools never offered before
• Academic collaborators exploring new frontiers of applied print technology

This is what the Edison Awards recognized. Not the technology in isolation — but the technology in the hands of people, making a difference.

What Comes Next

A Gold award is momentum — not a destination. artisJet and the BEC1GO™ ecosystem continue to expand: new markets, new applications, new partnerships, and a deeper commitment to making immersive print accessible, operational, and impactful at scale.

If you are a partner, operator, or brand exploring what BEC1GO™ can do for your business — this is the right time to connect. The technology is proven. The community is global. The results speak for themselves.
