D CEO and Dallas Innovates' Innovation Award winners are working to resurrect extinct species, launching autonomous trucks, reinventing military aircraft, and bringing AI into the physical world—and that's just the beginning. The 2025 awards showcase game-changing achievements—including Texas' first newly minted decacorn—across 17 categories of innovation. Here’s a look at the innovators leading the way.
The Innovation Awards 2025 recognizes 76 companies and trailblazers paving the way for the future of innovation in North Texas. Here's who made the finalists list.
Positioning itself to be "the car dealership of robotics," Southlake-based RobotLAB said U.S. Army veteran local business leader Keith Edwards will head up its new Houston location. The company says it has other locations in the pipeline in Colorado, Florida, Nevada, Tennessee, and Texas.
California-based Cyngn said it chose RobotLAB as a preferred U.S. partner because of its decades-long experience successfully deploying more than 10,000 robots worldwide.
RobotLAB CEO and Founder Elad Inbar says the summit will shed light on the advantages that robotics and AI bring to various industries. And lunch will be served on robots.
The kickoff Drone & Robotics Demo Day featured 10 companies that are pioneering everything from first-responder drones to delivery robots to drone detection systems. Meet the companies and see solutions that could help turn Dallas County into a Smart County—one innovation at a time.
The robots will serve you now. Restaurants across North Texas have been testing table-side food delivery robots, from La Duni in Dallas to Fort Worth's Japan House to Chili's locations across DFW. Now San Francisco-based RobotLAB—whose central U.S. office is in the DFW suburb of Southlake—has launched what it calls a "first-of-its-kind" robotics franchising program. It goes beyond restaurant robots to include robotics solutions for delivery, cleaning, education, and customer service.
