FreePower resurfaces as Fast Company’s World’s Most Innovative Companies for 2025

Good things come in threes, and this proves it. FreePower just won its third award from Fast Company – this time, we were named one of the World’s Most Innovative Companies in the Small and Mighty category. This designation is given to businesses with up to 50 employees who are making a seismic impact on their respective industries.

Most recently, we received their Next Big Things in Tech award in 2024, and in 2021 (under our former name Aira), they named us one of the World’s Most Innovative Companies in Consumer Electronics following the release of our first-generation charger. 

This time around, it was FreePower for Countertop that piqued Fast Company’s interest. Our next-gen technology can turn any countertop into a wireless charger: from bar tops at a restaurant to your kitchen island, this embedded tech seamlessly integrates into surfaces of all kinds to create smart homes and cities at large.

This award marks a full circle moment for us: initially recognized for our breakthrough technology, we’re now being honored for how we’ve applied it to surface charging. It’s a powerful validation of our mission to bring power to every surface, and proof that we’re making it happen.

With FreePower available in more than 450 showrooms and countertop fabrication shops across the US, along with a casegoods collaboration already in the works alongside Cosentino and James Martin Vanities, our award-winning technology is now available for integration into surfaces everywhere.

About FreePower

In 2017, FreePower (FKA Aira) took the first steps toward reinventing a technology that had always fallen short of expectations: wireless charging. Today, we have more than 250 patent assets for our advanced system, all of which were engineered in-house. After years of perfecting the technology, we launched the second-generation FreePower with Tesla in 2023, followed by our latest innovation: FreePower for Countertop. The technology won a multitude of awards in 2024 including 3 CES Innovation Awards, IIDA Product Design Award, KBB’s Kitchen Product of the Year, the coveted KBIS Best-in-Show Award, and Fast Company’s Next Big Things in Tech. We are now partnering with leading architects, designers, builders, and fabricators to bring power to the spaces that connect us, with FreePower now available in more than 450 showrooms and fabrication shops across the United States.
