2025 Innovation Strategy Awards

The 2025 Innovation Strategy Awards Are Now Open for Submissions

— June 14, 2025 — About
Innovation success isn't just about breakthrough ideas – it's about the strategic tactics that transform concepts into measurable impact. The Innovation Strategy Awards recognize the methodologies and frameworks that are driving real change across industries.

Now in our fourth year, these awards spotlight the tactical approaches that distinguish truly innovative organizations. Previous winners have demonstrated everything from systematic failure analysis frameworks to cross-industry opportunity identification methods. These aren't theoretical concepts – they're proven strategies with documented results.

What We Evaluate

We're seeking specific, actionable innovation tactics that other leaders can study and adapt. Whether you're driving transformation at an established enterprise or scaling a emerging venture, we want to understand the systematic approaches that set your innovation practice apart.

Our evaluation framework spans five core areas: Ability to Change, Culture of Innovation, Opportunity Hunting, Adaptive Innovation, and Infectious Messaging. Winners demonstrate not just innovative outcomes, but replicable processes that create sustained competitive advantage.

The Value of Recognition

Selected innovators present their methodologies at Future Festival World Summit in September, joining a curated network of leaders who are defining the future of business innovation. Your tactical approaches become part of our research platform, contributing to the broader understanding of innovation best practices.

This recognition extends beyond individual achievement – it positions your organization as a thought leader in innovation methodology and creates opportunities for strategic partnerships within our global network.

Submission Process

The nomination process focuses on tactical specificity rather than general innovation claims. We evaluate submissions based on organizational impact, market disruption, and the transferability of your methods to other contexts.

Submissions close August 22nd, 2025. The evaluation process prioritizes depth of tactical insight and demonstrated results over conventional innovation narratives.

Submit your nomination and contribute to the evolving understanding of what drives innovation success.
