About
Launched in 2006, Western Australia's (WA) Innovators of the Year has celebrated local businesses, government entities and young people that have developed an outstanding innovative product, technology or service for 20 years.
The Growth Innovation Award is awarded to a WA applicant who has developed an outstanding innovative product, technology, process or service that has generated material commercial revenue from the innovation at the time of application submission, and demonstrates an economic, social and/or environmental benefit to WA.
The winner will receive a cash prize of $60,000 (excl. GST) and the benefits of a PhD student, with a runner-up to receive $15,000 (excl. GST).
