Rewiring America Named to World’s Most Innovative List

“We’re honored to be named among the World’s Most Innovative Companies as we work to make electrification accessible and achievable for every household and community,” said Rewiring America CEO Ari Matusiak in a press release. “This recognition underscores the urgency and opportunity of this moment, and we are proud to be driving the solutions that will help Americans save money, tackle nationwide emissions goals, improve health, and create high-quality local jobs that can’t be automated or offshored. Our work is more important than ever.” 

Rewiring America develops tools to address the biggest barriers to electrification. The organization has brought electric appliances to households with resources like the Personal Electrification Planner (PEP), the Savings Calculator, and Rewiring Communities projects. More than a million Americans have used the calculator to understand the tax credits and rebates available with electrification.

To pick honorees for its World’s Most Innovative list, Fast Company editors and writers review companies that are driving progress around the world and across industries, evaluating thousands of submissions in a competitive application process. The result is a globe-spanning guide to innovation, from early-stage startups to some of the most valuable companies in the world, the press release said.

“Our list of the Most Innovative Companies offers both a comprehensive look at innovation today and a playbook for the future,” said Fast Company editor-in-chief Brendan Vaughan. “This year, we recognize companies that are harnessing AI in deep and meaningful ways, brands that are turning customers into superfans by overdelivering for them, and challengers that are introducing bold ideas and vital competition to their industries. At a time when the world is rapidly shifting, these companies are charting the way forward.”
