The award recognises the Cambridgeshire and East of England people, companies, and the ‘things’ that they create that are setting the standards in innovation and entrepreneurship across the globe.
The awards were presented during an invitation-only event where the winners had the opportunity to speak to a hand-selected audience of investors, professional services, entrepreneurs, developers and other relevant businesses.
Cofinitive’s founder Faye Holland said “The inaugural event is the culmination of a year-long campaign and the criteria we set for inclusion was pretty tough: each submission had to demonstrate a set of attributes: Innovation; Challenge; Influence; Viability; and Memorability, and the shortlist was judged by an independent panel. What all our winners have in common is the stuff of entrepreneurial dreams – a bright future”.
