At Cofinitive we’ve coined ‘Pants on Fire’. That’s the burning drive with which people on the brink of their next big thing want to achieve their goals and go even further. We can’t take our eyes off people and teams with their Pants on Fire, with good reason. They’re all ‘Ones to Watch’. And it's time we shine a spotlight on the Ones to Watch across Cambridgeshire.
To be forward-facing in our fast worlds of business, technology and society, you need to look beyond what’s current and turn to the Ones to Watch. Better yet, be a leader in an accelerating pace of change by becoming a One to Watch yourself. You, your team, your technology or your initiative could shape the trends of the future by stepping out and following your own innovative vision, for everyone to see and follow in your wake.
To launch the campaign we are pleased to announce that we are supporting a new award in the Cambridge Independent Science and Innovation Awards. Faye Holland, Founder of Cofinitive said
“The inaugural Science & Innovation Awards in 2017 showcased some of the good and great of Cambridge and the East of England and we are excited to be able to bring forward a totally new category for 2018 – the Ones to Watch Award. Our objective is to identify and showcase the people, businesses and products that will shape the future, and we can’t wait to be part of such a great initiative”.
The Ones to Watch award could be a significant advancement in an existing field, or the start of something entirely new. In every case, a One to Watch needs to be full of potential that people should stand up and pay attention to - whether that be an individual, a business, a product - and just about anything you can think of that is driving innovation in our region.
Over the coming months we’re going to be showcasing our Ones to Watch – but importantly we are requesting your suggestions for the trailblazers paving the way of new trends, industries and ideas we haven’t even considered yet.
So get your thinking caps on and email us with your suggestions to OnetoWatch@cofinitive.com, and we can add you to the list.
