Candidatures for the award, which iSocial co-organises with GrausTIC, can be submitted until 16 October 2026.

On 22 June we opened the submission period for the 2026 Social Integration through Digitalisation Award, which is part of the 2026 Catalonia Digital Innovation Awards – GrausTIC. This award, jointly presented by the iSocial Foundation and GrausTIC – the association that organises the awards – aims to recognise initiatives that use technology to improve people’s lives. Specifically, the award is given to the company, organisation or institution that, from all the entries submitted, has contributed the most over the past calendar year to the promotion of social integration. All organisations that wish to and meet this requirement may apply, either by making their products, services, projects or activities accessible to everyone through new technologies, or by designing and developing innovative digital tools for the social integration of vulnerable people and groups.

How to apply

Companies, organisations, institutions and initiatives wishing to enter the 2026 Catalonia Digital Innovation Awards may submit their applications until 16 October 2026. To participate, you must complete the nomination form with a brief description of the project and attach an explanatory video of between 2 and 10 minutes, allowing the jury to familiarise themselves with the proposal’s most relevant aspects. Applications may be submitted to a maximum of two categories, and the winning projects will be announced during the ICT Day in Catalonia 2026, on 11 and 12 November.

Award-winning initiatives in previous editions

Previous editions saw the award go to: Digitalitza’t, by the Sargim Foundation (2024), a digital support and accompaniment service that trains young people at risk of exclusion to become digital agents; Audivers 360º, by ACAPPS (2023), a pioneering immersive speech therapy project; Biel Digital Glasses (2022), a pair of glasses that adapts reality for people with low vision; and Help Them Grow, from the Pere Tarrés Foundation (2021), which facilitated virtual contact with families during the lockdown.
