Companies and nonprofits of all sizes will be considered. Applicants must demonstrate exactly how they encourage innovative thinking across the entire organization, citing specific examples of internal policies and programs that have yielded meaningful and tangible results.
This is an international awards program, open to companies from around the world. We do request that entries be submitted in English.
The bar for winners is high. Applicants will be judged on real and demonstrable commitments to cultivating a workplace that encourages innovative thinking, such as team size, R&D budgets, internal education or re-skilling programs, patent applications, product pipeline, internal recognition programs, etc.
