InnoWards 2017, Savoie Mont Blanc Innovation Award

October 16, 2017, 6:00 p.m. - October 16, 2017, 9:00 PM

On October 16, 2017, Acteurs de l’économie – La Tribune will host the second annual InnoWards ceremony at the Imperial Palace in Annecy, an awards ceremony recognizing innovative initiatives in the Savoie Mont Blanc region.

Time, space, discomfort… these are all constraints from which innovation sets us free. But to innovate, we must also know how to break free from conventions and habits. There is no innovation without freedom. It is through this lens that the InnoWards will recognize winners who have dared to step outside the box and fully embrace their differences—leading to surprising success.

Winners will be selected in five categories: InnoSanté, InnoCulture, InnoManagement, and InnoIndustrie. The InnoJump Award, which will recognize an innovative startup, will be presented following a public vote.
