Make your mark in the iawards
Summary
The iawards are new awards created to recognise and celebrate
the best British achievements in science, technology and
innovation. Working in partnership with leading entrepreneur
James Caan, they are the first awards of their kind to be backed by
the government. They will show how new technologies and
innovations can translate into the ground-breaking products and
services that enhance our daily lives. In the current
economic climate, innovation is increasing in importance, creating
more jobs through investment in science and technology.
Businesses and organisations can nominate themselves for an
iaward in 13 different categories ranging from Life Sciences or
Transport to Best Collaboration and The Next Big Thing. Each
entrant must also show that its innovation can address various
challenges affecting Britain – for example healthcare and the
ageing population, global competition and national growth, or
conserving finite natural resources in the face of a growing
population.

The closing date for entries is 16th September, and the awards
ceremony will take place at the Science Museum on 16th November
2009.
