All the chosen finalists in The Spectator’s Economic Innovator of the Year Awards, in partnership with Investec Wealth & Investment (UK), have unique stories to tell. And in 2024, alongside regional and overall winners and an extra award for excellence in Sustainability, we’re looking for a very special entrant which we’re calling the One to Watch.
It’s the range of sizes, sectors and stages of development that makes our awards such a fascinating challenge
Our Innovator finalists always have positive traits in common. Whether they’re at the cutting edge of bioscience or artificial intelligence, or finding greener ways to make familiar consumer products, they are entrepreneur-led UK ventures that share a commitment to perfecting their products, changing their marketplace and making a better world. But they can also be at very different stages of growth.
At one end of the scale, a finalist might be a recent start-up that has just passed the threshold of commercialisation – whether that means selling direct to consumers or joint-venturing with larger companies to market a product that’s tested and approved.
