Honoring innovation

 

Joseph C. Belden was an innovator. His patents and the company he founded in 1902 were a key part of the burgeoning telecommunications industry. Today, more than 120 years later, Belden continues that legacy of innovation by providing high-reliability network infrastructure and digitization solutions globally across a family of brands. To honor that spirit, we are excited to foster the next generation of innovative technologies through the Joseph C. Belden Innovation Award.
