Deadline looming large for region’s innovative businesses

Forward-thinking businesses from across the Midlands have less than one week to put themselves forward for the region’s first ever ‘Innovation 50’, an in-depth ranking of the fifty most innovative companies launched by law firm Mills & Reeve and TheBusinessDesk.com. The list, set to launch in September after judging from some of the region’s leaders, will celebrate the most innovative businesses across a range of categories, recognising the top 50 in a ranked index. Entrants have until 11:59pm on Monday 26th June to enter online at www.innovationfifty.co.uk.

Entrants will be assessed by a panel of expert judges for the results that their innovations have delivered to their business, customers and the wider community across five sectors including manufacturing, engineering and utilities, creative and digital, science, technology and healthcare, retail, consumer and leisure and financial services.

The best fifty innovators will be featured in a printed copy of the Innovation 50, distributed across the Midlands and available for download online on 4th September, providing those featured with opportunities to gain recognition and accelerate their growth.

From life sciences to digital and creative and engineering to technology, they are instrumental in making this a thriving place to live, work and play and should be celebrated.
