Awards Shortlisted

Automotive Testing Technology International Awards 2025: Shortlist revealed!

With less than two months to go until this year’s Automotive Testing Expo Europe, the shortlist for the 2025 ATTI Awards has been announced. ATTI received an overwhelming number of nominations this year, making the selection process especially challenging.

The Testing Hardware Innovation of the Year category stood out due to the sheer volume of entries received — many of which featured innovative hardware solutions that also incorporated cutting-edge software as a key component. This reflects the growing trend toward cyber-physical testing, where the lines between hardware and software are increasingly blurred.

The Software Innovation of the Year and Simulation Innovation of the Year categories also saw a wealth of nominations, highlighting both the automotive industry’s reliance on digital development and the high levels of creativity driving it forward.

Across all categories, a significant number of entries focused on ADAS and autonomous vehicle technologies, underscoring the complex challenges these systems continue to pose for developers.

This year, the ATTI Awards will be presented on Day 1 of Automotive Testing Expo Europe — May 20 at 4:30pm in Hall 8 at Messe Stuttgart, Germany.

On Day 2, visitors shouldn’t miss the ATTI Awards Forum, featuring a series of presentations and fireside chats on a range of key industry topics. It’s a valuable opportunity to gain insights from fellow professionals, spark meaningful discussions and even connect with potential partners.
