HI-TECH companies innovating the future are being urged to seize their opportunity at the Echo-backed Dorset Business Awards.
The IoD Innovation award, sponsored by Bournemouth University, awaits the company that has best exploited its new technology.
It is open to all Dorset-based organisations with innovations that have been launched or implemented within the last two years.
Judges will be looking at a wide range of criteria including:
evidence of the development of new - or the creative application of existing knowledge and expertise to achieve an innovative solution;
evidence of successful or scheduled implementation;
substantiation of how the innovation has assisted the economic and social well-being of Dorset.
IoD Wessex deputy chairman Philip Warr said: "It is the innovative organisations which force the business pace."
Bournemouth University pro-vice chancellor David Willey said: "The ability to be innovative -whether developing new technology or creatively responding to customer needs - is a key factor in driving economic growth across Dorset."
The other three other Dorset Business Awards are:
KPMG Company of the Year;
Lester Aldridge Management Team of the Year;
