Established in 2002, the Chicago Innovation Awards shine a bright light on the creative

spirit of Chicago by focusing attention on the most significant new products and services

introduced in the region.

The winners each year are innovations that uniquely fill unmet needs, spark a

competitive response in the marketplace, exceed market expectations, achieve financial

success, and improve people's lives. They emerge from the public, private, and

nonprofit sectors. Most importantly, the Chicago Innovation Awards remind us that

innovation is thriving in America's heartland.

 

The Chicago Innovation Awards has grown to be much more than just an award ceremony.

Through many events over the course of the year, the Chicago Innovation Awards not only

recognize nominees and winners, but also provide valuable connections through business

networking and development opportunities, as well as teaching on best innovation practices

through mentoring, scholarship, panel discussions, and education courses.
