Progress in cannabis doesn’t happen overnight. It’s built patiently and precisely by innovators solving hard problems with sharp tools and sharper thinking.
The 2025 Cannabis & Tech Today Innovation Awards are a tribute to that work. We’re highlighting systems that make the supply chain smarter, tech that brings clarity to complexity, and ideas that quietly shift how this industry functions day to day.
If you’re building something that makes cannabis better—more efficient, more accessible, more intelligent—we want to see it.
True Terpenes’ Modifiers line gives cannabis formulators precise control over flavor and sensory experiences without compromising strain authenticity. Each variant—Ice, Sweet, and Skunk—offers targeted enhancements that preserve the original terpene profile while allowing brands to craft distinctive, compliant, and scalable products.
The Jiko+ is the first automation system capable of producing donut-style infused pre-rolls, or hash holes, with precision and scale. By combining sub-millimeter accuracy with modular, six-wheel infusion technology, it empowers cannabis brands to create premium, high-margin products that were once only possible by hand.
The XR16 is a next-generation cannabis decontamination system that eliminates mold, bacteria, and pathogens up to three times faster than competing technologies—without affecting cannabinoids or terpenes. Using XRPure’s patented XReflect® cold X-ray process, it delivers near-perfect test pass rates while saving cultivators millions in lost product and compliance costs.
The Jefé Plus is a next-generation disposable vape that blends convenience with cutting-edge tech, featuring a digital display for battery life, oil levels, heat control, and hit duration. Designed for high-performance users, it redefines disposables by offering real customization and feedback—no apps, no gimmicks, just smarter vaping.
Azuca’s Whole-Plant ACTiVATOR® revolutionizes edibles by infusing whole cannabis flower—preserving cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids without solvents or extraction. The result is a fast-acting, true-to-plant edible experience that cuts production costs by up to 70% while delivering authentic flavor, precise dosing, and sustainable scalability.
The STIIIZY BAR redefines cannabis vaping with dual chambers for seamless strain switching, four voltage settings, and adjustable airflow for total session control. Combining sleek design with precision engineering, it empowers users to customize flavor, vapor density, and potency—setting a new gold standard for performance and personalization in vape technology.
LucidID embeds transparency and compliance directly into each cannabis product, eliminating the need for manual stickering and enabling instant access to verified batch data, COAs, and origins with a single scan. By merging real-time traceability with consumer trust and operational efficiency, it’s redefining how brands, retailers, and regulators interact across the entire supply chain.
Ethos Cannabis is pioneering a prevention-first cultivation model that eliminates the need for post-harvest remediation, preserving the plant’s full terpene and cannabinoid integrity. Through meticulous facility design, environmental controls, and zero-tolerance quality protocols, Ethos delivers pure, unaltered cannabis that redefines industry standards for safety, flavor, and transparency.
Select ACE is the first cannabis vape oil produced with patent-pending Aqueous Cannabis Extraction, a groundbreaking water-based method that isolates pure THCA without solvents or hydrocarbons. The result is a crystal-clear, terpene-rich oil exceeding 90% THC—delivering smooth, flavorful, irritation-free vapor that sets a new purity standard for cannabis vapes.
BLAZE’s Company Promotions tool revolutionizes cannabis retail by allowing operators to create a single promotion and instantly apply it across multiple dispensary locations. With its intuitive setup wizard and centralized management, it saves up to 90% of labor hours while ensuring consistent, scalable, and brand-aligned promotions that boost efficiency and customer loyalty.
CannaGuard PRO is a patented, EPA-registered sodium chlorite disinfectant engineered specifically for cannabis cultivation and processing environments. Non-corrosive, residue-free, and requiring no PPE or downtime, it kills 99.9% of bacteria, mold, and fungi—delivering hospital-grade sanitation that protects facilities, workers, and compliance without the hazards of traditional chemicals.
HyDry by Cryo Cure revolutionizes flower preservation by allowing cultivators to deep-freeze fresh cannabis indefinitely, then dry and cure it in as little as 13 hours with Cryo Cure’s patented technology. The process maintains potency, color, and terpene integrity, turning perishable harvests into stable, high-quality inventory and making year-round, on-demand cannabis production possible.
Sweed unifies POS, eCommerce, inventory, marketing, and compliance into one AI-powered retail platform that eliminates the need for fragile integrations. With real-time data intelligence and automated workflows, it personalizes customer experiences, streamlines operations, and helps dispensaries of every size scale efficiently and profitably.
The VEAZY brings STORZ & BICKEL’s legendary engineering to a new generation with a compact, colorful, and affordable vaporizer that doesn’t compromise on performance. Weighing just 0.3 lbs and powered by a patented mini conduction-convection heater, it delivers dense, flavorful vapor with simplicity, style, and true German precision.
Airone combines advanced airflow engineering with CCELL’s 3.0 low-temperature ceramic heating core to deliver smooth, consistent vapor and exceptional flavor retention in an ultra-thin, 8.8 mm body. Built with aerospace-grade materials and precision nano-tooling, it offers powerful performance, minimal leakage, and sleek style that redefines modern cannabis vaping.
Melt-to-Make’s patented gummy bases simplify edible manufacturing by letting producers melt, infuse, and mold gummies with speed and consistency. Made with all-natural, vegan, and sugar-free ingredients, these ready-to-use bases cut waste, reduce labor, and enable brands to scale clean-label gummies faster and more efficiently than ever before.
The XVapes 4-Gram All-in-One reimagines large-format vaping with precision engineering that eliminates clogs, leaks, and flavor loss from start to finish. Offering four grams of concentrate in a sleek, reliable, no-maintenance device, it delivers superior value, consistency, and convenience while setting a new benchmark for performance in cannabis hardware.
SB1 is the first carbohydrate additive engineered with NanoCarb nanotechnology, enabling plants to directly absorb sugars for faster growth, higher brix levels, and richer terpene profiles. Combined with the Phyto-Sacchara biostimulant from fermented sugarcane, it produces frostier, stickier, more aromatic flower that boosts yield, bag appeal, and profitability for cultivators.
