What’s better than winning an award? Winning three awards, of course! And what’s better than winning three awards? Doing it in style at the Engineering Matters Awards 2025 in London, rubbing shoulders with the best of the best in the industry.
Last Thursday night, our very own CEO, Mateja Lampe Rupnik, and CTO, Črt Valentinčič, walked up to the stage not once, not twice, but three times (we’re pretty sure they got their daily step count in) to accept the following honors on behalf of Red Pitaya:
Gold Champion for Environment – Because making a real impact on sustainability isn’t just a nice-to-have, it’s a must. Our role in LongPath Technologies’ scalable methane monitoring system showed the judges that open hardware can drive real environmental progress – all while keeping users free from the shackles of expensive, proprietary tools.
Silver Champion for Innovation – Let’s be real: Red Pitaya is practically synonymous with innovation. Whether it’s empowering engineers in high-tech labs, students at CERN, or industry pioneers worldwide, we’re constantly pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in test and measurement.
Silver Champion for Diversity – This one is special. One of the recognized projects was Sakura Particles, a team of Japanese high school girls who built a muon detector using Red Pitaya. Their detector not only won a CERN competition but is now being used in actual particle physics experiments. Because true diversity isn’t just about words – it’s about making technology accessible to everyone.
More Than Just Trophies – It’s About Impact
It’s easy to talk about sustainability, innovation, and inclusion. It’s much harder to build tools that actually enable them. But that’s what we do at Red Pitaya. Our platform is trusted by researchers, students, and industry leaders alike – because we believe precision, transparency, and adaptability should be available to everyone.
And let’s not forget who we were up against – some of the biggest names in engineering, like ABB, Rolls-Royce, Fugro, and British Gas. To be recognized alongside these giants? That’s something worth celebrating.
A Massive Thank You
To the Engineering Matters Awards judges – we’re honored. To our users around the world – you’re the reason we do what we do. To our Red Pitaya team – you rock. And to anyone who still thinks open hardware is just a niche market? Well, we’ve got three awards that say otherwise.
Here’s to another year of breaking barriers, enabling discovery, and making engineering actually matter. Onwards and upwards!
