Bristol Business News is to launch the city’s first Innovation Awards to showcase the creativity and enterprise in its fast-growth sectors. The Bristol Innovation Awards will be a far cry from the traditional business awards in the city as they will truly reflect its dynamis
m and pioneering spirit.
Categories will include Innovation of the Year, Innovator of the Year, Young Innovator of the Year and six sector-specific awards spanning creativity, sustainability and advanced engineering.
The awards ceremony itself, to be held later this year, will be a showcase of innovation with interactive demonstrations by shortlisted businesses and individuals.
Bristol Business News Editor Robert Buckland said: "Bristol is a recognised centre for innovation with a proud international reputation, particularly in sectors such as aerospace, media and sustainability. Yet the business awards that are staged in the city have always followed a tired format that has failed to champion or reflect this innovative spirit.
"Our awards will truly showcase the city's leading-edge businesses across a number of key sectors. We have already had a fantastic response to these awards and are looking forward to partnering with go-ahead organisations across the city to make them a true representation of Bristol and its diverse range of businesses."
More details, including sponsorship opportunities, are to be released this week or email info@bristol-business.net for further information.
