iLOQ ecosystem receives honorable mention in Fast Company’s 2026 Innovation by Design Awards

iLOQ is proud to announce that its ecosystem, comprising the new iLOQ App and the iLOQ 5 Series+ platform behind it, has received an ‘honorable mention’ in the ‘Home’ category of Fast Company’s 2026 Innovation by Design Awards.

In Fast Company’s Innovation by Design Awards, the Home category recognizes innovative products, services and environments that enhance the way people live. Entries are evaluated on criteria including functionality, design excellence, sustainability, user insight and overall impact. An Honorable Mention designates a project as an official awards honoree and recognizes exceptional achievement in innovation and design.

“iLOQ’s technology is truly one of a kind. Our fully passive smart-locking solution operates without batteries, wiring or built-in power. The locks harvest the small amount of energy they need directly from the smartphone used to open them, making the phone both the digital key and the temporary power source. This patented approach sets iLOQ apart globally and delivers a uniquely reliable, sustainable and maintenance-free user experience,” explains Joni Lampinen, Chief Revenue Officer at iLOQ.

The iLOQ ecosystem is the result of an extensive design-led development process focused on creating intuitive, scalable and future-ready access experiences. The solution was developed through close collaboration with users and stakeholders around the world, incorporating site visits, interviews, workshops and iterative prototype testing across multiple markets and use cases.

“Receiving recognition from Fast Company confirms that the iLOQ ecosystem is much more than an access-management solution. It is a design-led, software-enabled platform that is reshaping how people access and manage their homes. Recognition from one of the world’s most respected innovation publications validates our vision of moving beyond locks to create the next generation of intelligent access,” states Tuomo Kalajanniska, Customer Experience Director at iLOQ.

The recognition highlights iLOQ’s continued evolution from a smart-locking company into a comprehensive access-management platform provider, combining battery-free hardware, mobile credentials, cloud-based management and intuitive software into a seamless user experience.
