3… 2… 1… And the Award goes to… Today is that time of the year at MWC Barcelona where the GLOMO Awards take place at Hall 6, at the Turing Stage. (17:00 - 18:00) In GSMA’s words, “The Global Mobile (GLOMO) Awards are the industry’s most prestigious accolade, judged by the sector’s most prominent subject matter experts. For 30 years, being shortlisted for a GLOMO Award has signified recognition as a serious contender, a brand to watch closely in the tech sector.” A total of 33 awards across seven categories 👉 Mobile Tech, Digital Everything, Device, Tech4Good, Government Leadership Award, Outstanding Achievement and Marketing Excellence Tech giants like Samsung Electronics, Huawei, Xiaomi Technology, China Mobile International Limited, LG Electronics, ZTE Corporation, and SK Telecom are bound to receive quite a few awards as they do each year, but you also have newcomers and those who are not as yet so known. 👉 One of them is Haptic, nominated under the Tech4Good Category and for Best Use of Mobile for Accessibility & Inclusion This award recognizes universal design innovation in the vital development of mobile products, applications, services, devices, and other initiatives and projects that enhance accessibility and inclusivity for billions of people afflicted with disabilities, both physical and mental impairments, as well as older users. Haptic is an inclusive brand with a great team and advisory behind it to make an impact. Yesterday, I introduced the CEO and Founder of Haptic, Kevin Hoil Yoo, to my buddy Jim, Bestselling Author, AI Futurist, International Best Selling Author, and Thought Leader on Disruptive Innovation. And, of course, as always, Jim had to do an impromptu video, so I did a B roll shoot! This is what I love about MWC, making new friends, new connections, and discovering new technologies that make an impact. I’m rooting for you, Kevin! And good luck to all nominees this year. With two days left, connect with Kevin here on LI or find him at the MWC APP if you want to know more about Haptic 👉 As the congress continues, stay tuned for my recap release on Sunday, which will include Juniper Networks, IBM, NTT, Nokia, Cisco, and a few other noteworthy brands to mention. Standalone articles with more in-depth insights will be released within the next 7-10 days, so stay tuned for those! In the meantime, 2 more days to enjoy MWC! 🤝 😎 #innovation #technology #AI #futurism #MWC25 Hr.

Haptic is one of five finalists at the MWC Barcelona GLOMO Awards for “Best Use of Mobile for Accessibility & Inclusion.” This recognition is a testament to our work in redefining how people interact with technology. We’re not just building accessible solutions—we’re shaping the future of human-device interaction, making technology more intuitive, responsive, and inclusive for everyone. Thank you Mapbox for continuing to build a future with us that we are proud of.
We are honored to see our partner Haptic shortlisted for the GLOMO Awards 2025 in the Tech4Good category ‘Best Use of Mobile for Accessibility & Inclusion.’ Haptic combines innovative tactile feedback technology with Mapbox navigation solutions to provide quicker, more accurate, and safer navigation for everyone, and especially those with limited or impaired vision. Together, navigation can be more accessible than ever: touch-based navigation replaces reliance on sight and sound with vibrational cues, offering a seamless way to interact with the world – and reshaping the future of mobility. This GLOMO award recognizes innovation in the vital development of mobile products, applications, services, devices and other initiatives that enhance accessibility and inclusivity for billions of people afflicted with disabilities as well as older users. We congratulate all five shortlisted nominees for their innovation: https://lnkd.in/g5nJZe_x #BuiltWithMapbox #GLOMOAwards #MWC25

We are proud to announce that the United States Patent and Trademark Office has officially granted Haptic our new patent: “Systems and Methods for Haptic Navigation”. This patent cements our leadership in haptic navigation technology, protecting our ability to provide vibration-based guidance systems that dynamically adapt to a user's orientation and movement, delivering real-time tactile feedback for seamless navigation. This milestone builds on our previous patent, "Vibrating Haptic Device for the Blind", which secured our early innovations in wearable haptic technology that assists users by transmitting directional cues through vibrations. Haptic pioneers intuitive haptic technology designed for everyone, with a global impact in mind. Starting with navigation, we’re shaping a future that’s not just seen or heard, but felt. #Haptic #TouchTheFuture #Innovation
