Startups of The Year: Meet the Engineering Industry

Engineering is the closest thing to magic that exists in the world — Elon Musk

Engineering is all about turning science into something we can see, use, and experience. Whether it's designing bridges, developing energy systems, or creating the technology that runs our world, engineers are behind the scenes making it all happen. Different fields—like civil, mechanical, electrical, and aerospace engineering—each focus on unique problems, but they all share the same goal: solving real-world challenges with innovative solutions.

Right now, with tech moving faster than ever and big global issues like climate change, engineering is evolving. Things like AI, robotics, and the Internet of Things (IoT) are shaking up how things are built and run, making them smarter, more efficient, and greener. For startups, this shift is opening up huge opportunities to jump in with new ideas—whether it's in renewable energy, smart cities, or even materials we haven’t thought of yet.
