In addition, they will wish to see the strategy for successful market penetration and further development and/or deployment. Responses may include previously developed technologies which have been re-developed in the last 12 months to address further industry challenges.

The technology can apply to any area of the industry’s activity, including digital, HS&E, energy transition etc.

The judges will be looking for evidence of novelty and innovation in your idea, clear evidence that it addresses a need within the industry and has a clear business case (including improving health, safety or environmental performance) to take it forward.
