People, companies and the ‘things’ they create are pushing the boundaries of what we do today, leading us into the world of tomorrow; and Cofinitive's #OnetoWatch lists (Companies, People, Things) are gaining momentum as it showcases the region’s future talent, innovation and entrepreneurship.
Cofnitive describes what it means to be a #OnetoWatch:
Firstly, to kick-start the campaign, we partnered with local newspaper, Cambridge Independent, to introduce a new category to their Science and Technology awards. This year, in addition to the likes of CEO and AI Company of the Year, companies were able to apply for the Cambridge Independent The One to Watch award*.
But #OnetoWatch isn’t stopping there. Over a 12-month period, we are uncovering and showcasing more of our region’s Ones to Watch on our blog and promoting them across a variety of media channels.
The initiative will culminate in the publication of the Top 21 #OnetoWatch people, companies and ‘things’ that we acknowledge as shaping the future of their industries.
The Top 21 #OnetoWatch will be announced at an invitation-only event in March 2019, where each of the Top 21 #OnetoWatch will receive a bespoke accolade to mark their recognition. This will be the inaugural, annual platform from which the Top 21 #OnetoWatch has the chance to maximise their exposure as up and coming innovators, whether that’s across social media, membership groups, with investors and stakeholders, or in the press.
To join the Cofinitive #OnetoWatch master lists and be in the running to become a 2019 Top 21 #OnetoWatch, all you need to do is get in touch! Tell us on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn or email about yourself, your company and/or your ‘thing’ and why you think you’re a #OnetoWatch. Or in true Cambridge-style, feel free to nominate others too.
