Join Us for an Evening of Innovation, Inspiration and Connection

📅 Thursday 15th October🕠 From 5:30pm📍STEAMhouse, Birmingham

Innovation is at the heart of the UK’s growth, productivity and prosperity. It fuels business success—and the people driving that innovation deserve recognition.

That’s why we created the Innovation Awards—to celebrate individuals, businesses, and organisations across the UK who are championing innovation. From trailblazing startups and manufacturing pioneers to research institutions and industry bodies, our awards bring together the best in innovation.

You’re invited to a special Innovators Evening where you’ll hear from our incredible 2026 finalists, past winners, judges and sponsors. Connect with business leaders, key players in innovation, and like-minded peers over drinks and canapés in the inspiring setting.

Whether you're an innovator, a supporter of innovation, or simply curious about the minds shaping the future—this evening is not to be missed.

🎟️ Reserve your place now.

Please note: The official Innovation Awards ceremony and dinner takes place on Friday 13th November at Eastside Rooms
