For the Safety Innovation Challenge: Workplace Fatigue, up to ten (10) semifinalists will showcase at the NSC Spring Safety Conference and Expo on May 7-8, 2026 in Baltimore, Maryland at the Baltimore Convention Center.
At the Conference, semifinalists will use booth space to demonstrate their proposed technologies and engage with safety officers and professionals from a broad swath of industries.
The Challenge winner will receive a complementary one-year basic subscription to NSC’s TechHub Marketplace, a repository of safety related technologies where companies search for innovative new solutions for their organizations.
All semifinalists may apply for grants to fund pilot-scale implementations with third-party companies. Grant recipients can use up to $20,000 each to demonstrate the effectiveness of these proposed solutions in a workplace setting.
Following conference attendance, TechConnect will reimburse semifinalists $4,500 to offset costs associated with attending.
