Is your company transforming the marketing industry? Innovating in health and wellness? Disrupting finance? It’s time to honor the most innovative products and companies with this year’s MITX Innovation Awards, which aim to highlight “the products that are driving the future of marketing and revolutionizing the way we work and play.”
The submission deadline for the awards has been extended until March 30th, so if that’s you, or sounds like somebody you know, submit their name today.
In addition to last year’s categories, MITX has added four new ones:
- Best Contribution to Innovation by a University/College
- Best Innovation in Financial Services
- Best Mobile App
- Best Wellness Innovation
Here’s the full list of award categories:Best “Doing Good” Innovation
- Best Bootstrapped Start-Up
- Best Business Operations Simplifier
- Best Commerce Transformer/Game Changer
- Best Consumer Tech that Makes Life Easier
- Best Contribution to Innovation by a University/College
- Best Customer Engagement Driver
- Best Innovation in Financial Services
- Best Mobile App
- Best Mobile Solution
- Best Use of Game Mechanics
- Best User Experience
- Best Wellness Innovation
- Most Insightful: Analytics/ Business Intelligence
Last year’s winners included Gazelle, netBlazr, Backupify, SCVNGR, and many more.
Dina Routhier won venture capitalist of the year last year, for her work at the Mass. Technology Development Corp., but the format for that category is changing a bit. Rather than picking that category based on votes, this year it will be selected according to which venture capitalist in Boston has the most porfolio companies as finalists in the competition.
We’re going to be watching this competition closely, and as a media partner we’ll be profiling some of the finalists and winners (with special attention paid to those our commenters recommend). So there’s your extra nudge to submit a company: they might just end up with a feature at BostInno!
