About the Innovation Awards

We have handed out awards to some of the world's leading entrepreneurs, thinkers, creators, scientists and innovators. 

De Soto. Miyamoto. Gates. Zuckerberg. Wales. Jobs. People who have changed the game. Those who sow the seeds of an idea and nurture them into the innovations that we incorporate into our everyday lives. This year we celebrate the twists and turns of ideation and creation -- the stories behind these great innovators.

Among the host of leading innovators celebrated at last year's Innovation Awardswere the brains behind modern maps, anti-cancer drugs and private spaceflight. The awards, sponsored by Huawei and Astellas, recognise significant contributions across eight fields ranging from business processes to environmental technology.

This year's action will be streamed live and free from London's BAFTA theatre on December 3rd 2013.
