The overall winner 2025

HSS Falcon by Apstec Systems (Sweden)

HSS Falcon is a security screening system enabling high-capacity, real-time screening of both people and handheld items. The system stands out by detecting a wide range of threats – including explosives, weapons, pyrotechnics, narcotics, and cash – while ensuring a fast and seamless process. It identifies and distinguishes knives, long-bladed weapons, and various metallic or semi-polymer firearms from everyday objects.

THE JURY’S MOTIVATION:“HSS Falcon’s speed and accuracy in protecting crowded spaces – without disrupting the natural flow of people – set a new benchmark for threat detection. It proves how innovation can both enhance security and safeguard the openness of society.”

The Innovative Achievement Award 2025

Check’In Infra by Artifeel (France) and MCX 270 by Alarmtech (Sweden)

Check’In Infra from Artifeel is a compact autonomous alarm system developed to protect technical infrastructure from intrusion, particularly installations located in exposed environments (for example, remote sites or underground). No Wi-Fi or power connection is required, Check’In Infra uses a battery-powered sensor with built-in AI that distinguishes real threats from false alarms and responds with instant notifications and loud alarms.

THE JURY’S MOTIVATION:“With its AI-driven threat detection and resilient dual-SIM connectivity, Check’In Infra enables alarm alerts even for remote and vulnerable technical infrastructure sites. This battery-powered security system stands out as a unique solution.”

Alarmtech’s MCX 270 is a robust high-security magnetic contact designed to protect, for example, garage and industrial doors, particularly in environments with explosion risks. ATEX-certified and engineered to resist tampering and external magnetic fields, makes it especially suitable for installations where high operational reliability is required.

THE JURY’S MOTIVATION:“This intrusion detection solution, built for explosive environments, once again proves Alarmtech’s robust engineering capability. With its unrivalled reliability in high-risk applications, the MCX 270 demonstrates true innovation, safety, and trust.”
