Liverpool Chamber has announced the shortlisted candidates for this year’s Innovation in Business Awards, in association with Lexus Liverpool.
More than 140 nominations were received across 15 separate categories and the final shortlist will now go forward to a glittering awards ceremony at St George’s Hall on Thursday 24 October, where 500 guests will be in attendance.
Organisations from a broad range of sectors are represented in this year’s shortlist, including engineering, chemistry, renewable energy, logistics, hospitality and professional services.
A full shortlist of nominees can be found below.
Paul Cherpeau, chief executive of Liverpool Chamber, said:
“The quality and variety of nominations this year has been nothing short of exceptional. We have organisations as diverse as chromatographers and capital investors, and everything in between, which reflects the depth of enterprise across the Liverpool City Region.
“The Innovation in Business Awards aim to recognise and reward those businesses who go about things in an innovative way, whether that’s through the use of new technology, identifying new markets for growth, adapting their product or service, or training their people in a new, innovative skill set.
“We very much look forward to announcing the winners on an unforgettable night at St George’s Hall in October.”
