JUDGING

Final round judging
The final judging day took place on Wednesday February 19th, and provided
an opportunity for all shortlisted companies to present live to the judging
panel. Each organisation had already presented written submissions and
was then allocated a 15 minute slot to talk about their business, but more
importantly, their innovation entry.
This was followed by a Q&A session with the judges.
The judging panel, then had the difficult task of scoring each of the companies
and deciding on a category winner, the best North/South collaborative
innovation and an overall Innovation of the Year award.
