Innovation is not just about new technology, but also about rethinking how technology is applied to create new value and solve different challenges. This category pays tribute to those who make bold choices to drive progress and create change with their solutions. This is the primary focus of the jury when evaluating submissions in this category.

Furthermore, the jury emphasizes market understanding, understanding of user needs, and a plan for a sustainable rollout and growth curve, rather than just the results achieved at the time of assessment. We want to see your innovative solutions, insights, creativity, and courage.
