InnoWards 2018, Savoie Mont Blanc Innovation Awards

November 19, 2018, 12:00 a.m. - November 19, 2018, 9:00 p.m.

"Free to innovate!" On Monday, November 19, 2018,Acteurs de l'économie – La Tribune is organizing the third edition of the InnoWards at the Imperial Palace in Annecy, awards that will recognize innovative achievements in the Savoie Mont Blanc region.

Time, space, discomfort... these are all constraints that innovation frees us from. But to innovate, we must also know how to free ourselves from conventions and habits. There can be no innovation without freedom. It is through this lens that the InnoWards will reward winners who have been able to take a step back and fully embrace their differences... resulting in surprising success.

Candidates will be recognized in five categories: InnoHealth, InnoCulture, InnoManagement, InnoIndustry, and InnoJump. The InnoJump prize, which will reward an innovative start-up, will be awarded following a public vote.
