The Innovation by Design Awards, which can be found in the September 2023 issue of Fast Company, honor the designers and businesses solving the most crucial problems of today and anticipating the pressing issues of tomorrow. The competition, now in its 12th year, features a range of blue-chip companies, emerging startups, and hungry young talents. It is one of the most sought-after design awards in the industry.
Selfbook boasts cutting-edge, user-friendly design that has garnered accolades for its guest-centric, data-driven approach, providing the industry's premier booking and payment experience. Seamlessly navigating intricate internal systems, Selfbook ensures secure, compliant payment processing while incorporating digital wallets and alternative payment options.

“Selfbook’s human-centric design ensures that our products automatically handle the complexities of booking and payment processing so that hotel teams can focus on what they do best: connecting with their guests,” said Khalid Meniri, Co-Founder and CEO of Selfbook. “Our mission is to bring hospitality back to its roots by providing hotels with invisible technology that allows hoteliers to focus on human connection on-property. With our suite of easy-to-use products rooted in design, hotels can enhance the user experience for all those involved.”
“So much innovation news these days is focused on AI,” said Brendan Vaughan, editor-in-chief of Fast Company. “This year’s Innovation by Design honorees are a reminder that it’s human ingenuity that drives invention.”
The judges include renowned designers from a variety of disciplines, business leaders from some of the most innovative companies in the world, and Fast Company’s own writers and editors.
