New Haven has historically been a hotbed of ideas and invention, and the region’s legacy of innovation continues as the region’s commercial ecosystem of startups and established companies break new ground and redefine their industries.
New Haven BIZ’s September/October issue will profile a half-dozen of the leaders who are bringing about change and driving significant growth in our regional economy. We will recognize top innovators and entrepreneurs from a cross-section of industries.
We are still seeking nominations from members of the business community for entrepreneurs and business leaders of companies in south-central Connecticut who have created and implemented significant innovations over the last 12 months.
Don’t miss our online innovation awards event, “60 Ideas in 60 Minutes,” coming this fall. Attendees will get valuable advice and insights they can turn around and apply to their own organizations and careers. Our six award winners will each share ten keys to their personal and professional success.
Last year, for the innovation awards program’s inaugural year, we honored:
Jonathan Rothberg of Butterfly Networks, which has pioneered a revolutionary handheld ultrasound device that can help diagnose disease and is affordable, and potentially accessible to millions around the globe.
Jennifer Good, whose Trevi Therapeutics has developed an innovative alternative to addictive opioids.
Al Subbloie, whose company Budderfly is changing the way the world buys, and uses, energy.
Craig Crews, founder of Arvinas Inc., which is developing novel therapies for prostate and breast cancers.
Erika R. Smith, CEO of ReNetX, which is working to reverse spinal-cord injuries.
Robert Schoelkopf, founder of New Haven’s Quantum Circuits, which is developing new technology for the next generation of computers.
If you know someone who is an innovative leader, let us know! We are looking for nominations of top innovators and entrepreneurs from a cross section of industries, including health care, manufacturing, non-profits, software/IT, hospitality & food service, biotech/health sciences, education, green tech, and arts & entertainment.
Nominations should include name, title, company, industry and what you think makes the nominee stand out from the crowd. Nominees typically are business principals, founders and/or C-level executives.
The nomination deadline is July 15. Complete the 60 Ideas in 60 Minutes form HERE.
