The Inaugural 2026 TAG Awards for B2B Innovation Announce Winners, Recognizing the Companies Behind the Success of Others

Auburn, ME — SEPTEMBER 25, 2026 — The TAG Awards, produced by The Aebli Group, is proud to announce the inaugural Class of 2026 winners of the TAG Awards for B2B Innovation. The new awards program recognizes companies developing the technologies, products, platforms, and services that help other organizations operate better, grow stronger, and achieve more.

B2B innovators often work behind the scenes, yet their impact can be felt across entire industries. The TAG Awards for B2B Innovation were created to give these organizations greater visibility and recognize innovation that delivers measurable value for the businesses and people it supports.

An independent panel of experienced judges scored nominations across five areas: novelty, design, value, impact, and execution.

The inaugural 2026 TAG Awards for B2B Innovation Winners are:

  • Medtronic: Symplicity Spyral™ Renal Denervation System is the 2026 TAG Awards TOP B2B INNOVATOR
  • Codonics: Perioperative Medication Safety Platform
  • Organ Recovery Systems: LifePort Kidney Transporter
  • Enovis: Healthcare Solutions
  • Ascent Business Solutions: Flow Nexus

Among this year’s honorees, Medtronic’s Symplicity Spyral™ Renal Denervation System earned the highest overall score from the judges and has been named the inaugural TAG Awards TOP B2B INNOVATOR for 2026.

Backed by more than 15 years of research and clinical evidence, Symplicity Spyral offers healthcare providers a minimally invasive approach to treating uncontrolled high blood pressure. More than 30,000 patients have been treated globally with the technology. Judges recognized its thoughtful engineering, clinical evidence, measurable impact, and successful execution.

The remaining winners show the breadth of innovation across the B2B landscape.

Codonics was recognized for connecting medication preparation, administration, inventory, documentation, and controlled substance management across perioperative workflows. Organ Recovery Systems was honored for LifePort Kidney Transporter, which combines organ preservation with real-time monitoring and connectivity for transplant teams. Enovis Healthcare Solutions connects orthopedic clinical workflows, DME management, insurance verification, and patient financial transparency. Ascent Business Solutions' Flow Nexus helps organizations automate and connect critical internal business processes.

Codonics and Enovis also earned recognition in the 2026 TAG Awards for MedTech, making them the two organizations recognized across both TAG Awards programs this year.

“B2B companies do not always receive the attention given to the brands and products we interact with every day, but they are often the reason other organizations can succeed,” said Justin Starbird, Founder of The Aebli Group and the TAG Awards. “We created the B2B Innovation Awards to put a spotlight on that work. This inaugural class demonstrates what happens when innovation is paired with strong execution, measurable results, and a clear understanding of the people and organizations it is designed to serve.”

The TAG Awards provide third-party validation, industry visibility, and long-term credibility for emerging and established innovators. The B2B Innovation Awards expand that mission by recognizing organizations whose work enables progress across healthcare, technology, operations, enterprise software, and other business sectors.

The inaugural program represents the beginning of an expanding platform designed to identify and celebrate the companies driving Technology, Achievement, and Growth across the B2B economy.
