IBM Research Recognized by Fast Company’s Innovation by Design Awards in Four Categories
I am delighted to announce that IBM Research was named a finalist in FastCompany Innovation by Design competition in four categories this year:
Enduring Impact — Finalist — IBM Research Portal
Best UX Design of 2022 — Honorable Mention — IBM Research Portal
General Excellence — Honorable Mention — Middle of Nowhere
Best Graphic Design — Honorable Mention — Middle of Nowhere
IBM Research Portal
The IBM Research Portal is transforming how clients match their toughest business problems to our emerging technologies and ideas. Top clients often have several ongoing research projects with dozens of researchers across them. It can be tricky to connect the challenges that arise in this work with the right technology approach from among thousands of options in the IBM Research catalog. The Portal solves this problem. It is a digital hub where clients can manage their IBM Research collaboration, try out a range of hands-on technical assets, and level-up their knowledge of new technologies related to their projects. Together with a dedicated engagement manager as their guide, the Portal helps clients to unlock the full potential of their research partnership.

The IBM Research website 404 page features AI-generated landscapes of non-existent places which merge and morph into one another as you view the page. Users can be delighted even through a website failure, being then directed toward rich content featuring our AI technologies.
