The winners of the 2025 Canstar Blue Innovation Excellence Awards have been announced, celebrating the latest in innovation and technology for appliances in the home, as well as telco and energy solutions.
This year’s award winners are great examples of the products and solutions that are making a real impact in helping Australians better manage their home and lifestyle.
Winning the award is certainly no easy feat – entries were received across a range of products, with each submission judged against a series of criteria focused on two areas:
- The degree of innovation: How innovative the product was in its uniqueness, how disruptive it was in the market, and the ‘wow’ factor it delivered
- Impact: The accessibility of the product (including affordability), and how the product could improve someone’s life
For energy, Origin’s EV Power Up, Amber Electric’s Vehicle to Grid and EnergyAustralia’s Community Battery Ease programs received the accolade.
For telco, Superloop earned the award for its Refreshify app, and Spriggy for its Spriggy Mobile app.
For appliances, it was smart technology, the use of AI and automation and better integration that saw awards go to the likes of Samsung, FLORA, Narwhal and Navman.
