Nomination Process

HOW IT WORKS

A panel of judges, editors and Economist readers all get to nominate. 

CRITERIA FOR SELECTION

You can only nominate a person (not a company) whose innovation has been successful in the last decade.

We choose winners based on:

• How much revenue their innovation has made their company, helped out a specific good cause or society in general

• The effect their work has had on the marketplace (or if it's created a whole new marketplace altogether)

• The impact their innovation has had on a new type of science or technology
