Many thanks to Chicago Innovation for recognizing us! We’re proud of our hardworking team to help bring our new innovation to market.

We’re honored to announce that our Hologram Hyper platform is one of the winners of the 19th annual Chicago Innovation Awards. We’re proud to receive this award as it sets out to recognize Chicago’s most innovative new products or services brought to market each year. The winners are chosen based on innovations that uniquely fill unmet needs of the consumer and simultaneously improve their lives.

“272 organizations nominated for this year’s awards,” said Luke Tanen, executive director of the Chicago Innovation Awards. “As a group, these nominees are responsible for generating over $5.6 billion in new revenues, 7,322 new jobs, and 1,683 patents from their nominated new products and services. The winners represent the best from this very impressive group.

What sets us apart is our ability to connect any device to any network, instantaneously, through our global cellular platform. Our Hyper platform is so unique because of its SIM card which automatically optimizes for the best network and dynamically switches between 550+ cellular carriers on the fly. This removes the burden of physically swapping the SIM card in the device to save time, money, and empower our clients to scale globally.

"We're thrilled to be recognized as innovators in our field and we are truly honored to have been in the running with our fellow nominees,” said Ben Forgan, CEO and cofounder of Hologram. “We’ll continue to strive for excellence within our IoT space and we are excited for what the future holds."

In addition to bragging rights, the Hologram team as well as our fellow award-winning organizations will receive a variety of honors, including the opportunity to ring the Nasdaq Bell in New York City, and meet with the Mayor of Chicago, Governor of Illinois, Cook County President, and leaders from the United Nations Foundation.

We thank each and every team member, client and supporter that has led us here and use our cellular platform, we will continue to work harder, faster and better for you.
