Amazon has announced the results of the second edition of the annual competition "Amazon Launchpad Innovation Awards”. In Italy, Milan-based Security Watch stood out as "Best Local Startup", with its WinLet personal defense device, which, thanks to technology, enables instant reaction to aggression or threats.

With a powerful high-frequency siren aimed at warning off and frightening away potential attackers, the WinLlet device enables instant reaction in case of aggression or threats. Connected through a smartphone app, WinLet sends a message of help to a selection of contacts who then receive the alarm and the real-time location of the victim.

Security Watch wins a customized Seller Spotlight placement on the Amazon Launchpad landing page; the rights to use the Awards logo; and an "Amazon Launchpad Innovation Awards" trophy. The free to enter EU-wide competition saw thousands of applications all over Europe.

A panel of expert judges shortlisted 20 entrepreneurs with innovative products, which been awarded a featured seller placement on Amazon Launchpad. Submissions were judged on their aesthetic, design and uniqueness as well as social, ecological, economical and sustainability factors.
