Innovator Awards

An Innovator Award can help raise your organisation’s profile – both regionally and nationally – whilst increasing awareness of your innovation. This could generate new opportunities, enhance relationships with partners and even lead to new collaborations. Your success will be shared with the region’s top businesses and academia at the annual awards evening held each March, with further media coverage following the awards.

Winners for each category receive a cash prize of £3000, to invest in development or research that will enable their businesses to further enhance their innovative progress.

How do I apply?

Applications for the Innovator/11 Awards will open in Autumn 2010, please visit the Innovator Awards website.
