Scottsdale, Arizona — June 24, 2026 — ChannelVision Magazine has named Minerva Networks as a 2026 Visionary Spotlight Award (VSA) winner for “Best Emerging Technology Breakthrough 2026”.

The annual Visionary Spotlight Awards is among the channel’s longest-running awards programs, having celebrated innovation, leadership, and success for more than a decade. The VSAs also serve as a trusted resource for channel partners, helping them identify leading solutions in an increasingly complex technology ecosystem.

Each year, ChannelVision’s editors and independent judges evaluate entries based on a range of criteria, including overall innovation, future industry impact, creativity, feature set differentiation, ease of use, and interoperability.

“The 2026 VSAs reflect a rapidly evolving channel, with advisors navigating emerging AI-driven technologies and shifting buyer expectations,” said ChannelVIsion president and CEO Berge Kaprelian. “The VSAs help cut through the noise by recognizing the companies that are delivering innovation and measurable business value. On behalf of ChannelVision, congratulations to all of this year’s VSA winners.”

Minerva Networks earned the “Best Emerging Technology Breakthrough 2026” award for its Minerva 10 Platform, a solution that cures viewer “Content Paralysis” by transforming the television into an intelligent, interactive Super-Hub. By converging Super Aggregation and Generative AI, the platform unifies Live TV, VOD, SVOD, and FAST channels into a single, fluid interface, effectively ending the frustration of app-switching. The award recognizes standout innovations like “Smart Highlights,” which analyzes live sports to generate instant “Catch Me Up” playlists, and “Minnie,” a GenAI companion that delivers true conversational search and context-aware recommendations. Ultimately, Minerva was chosen for creating a breakthrough that puts viewers back in charge of their entertainment while empowering TV operators to reduce churn, increase dwell time, and monetize the discovery experience.

“We are incredibly proud to be recognized by ChannelVision Magazine with this Visionary Spotlight Award. Our entire team has worked tirelessly to build the Minerva 10 Platform into a solution that truly cures content paralysis. We firmly believe that AI should serve as a collaborative assistant—supporting and enhancing the viewer’s journey rather than replacing the human joy of discovering great stories. This award is an exciting validation of that vision and of our commitment to helping operators turn the traditional TV screen into an intelligent, interactive hub.” – Mauro Bonomi, CEO of Minerva Networks
