InnoVision Awards honor distinguished South Carolina businesses, organizations, and individuals who set new standards for innovation and technology advancement. Three finalists will be chosen in each of six categories and showcased at the highly anticipated 26th annual InnoVision Awards celebration on November 7th at Thornblade Country Club in Greenville. Beyond the honor of recognition, finalists gain invaluable networking opportunities that foster potential collaborations and partnerships. One year, an InnoVision Awards finalist successfully sold their innovation to an entrepreneur in the audience mere weeks after the event!

Awards are conferred in six categories:

Technology Development, Technology Application, Small Business, Sustainability, Community Service, and Education

During the Awards Celebration, InnoVision also recognizes educational programs encouraging young people in science, technology, engineering, and math through the Ibrahim Janajreh Young Innovator Award. The Awards Celebration culminates with announcing and presenting the prestigious Dr. Charles Townes Individual Achievement Award, which recognizes decades of significant contributions to South Carolina innovation.
