Best New Innovator award, New Entrepreneurs Zone
13th March 2019
Searching for the future of our innovation economy – The Best New Innovator award
A big part of what #VFS20 Festival of Innovation is all about is showcasing, nurturing and celebrating the region’s top young innovators. Our unique, cross-university partnership led by Sarah Rogers from the University of Southampton has scoured the halls of the region and uncovered the freshest and finest talent. These new innovators have done incredibly well to get this far but only one will be selected for individual recognition. Throughout the day a panel of highly qualified judges will meet all the chosen new innovators and offer them advice and guidance, they will also evaluate the propositions with the aim of selecting one to win the ‘Best New Innovator’ award.
Highlight: Make sure you stick around to see who takes home the award at the end of the day in the Collaboration Zone.
The judges will be looking at;
- How well they have communicated
- Level of innovation demonstrated by the business
- How well they have used their stand to present their innovation
- The viability of their business concept
