2025 Sponsorship Opportunities
InnoVision Awards Ceremony
The InnoVision Awards honors distinguished South Carolina organizations, individuals, educators, and students who set new standards for innovation and technology advancement. 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 that encourage young people in the areas of 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.
InnoVision Forums
InnoVision Forums are designed to engage and inform the business community on a variety of trending innovation topics through presentations and panel discussions. Afterward, attendees are invited to stay to network and share ideas. We invite Sponsors to suggest topics, serve as speakers/moderators, and/or host an event, which typically brings together 50+ attendees.
Meet the Finalists Event
This is an intimate, invitation-only event for Finalists, InnoVision Awards Board Members, Sponsors, and their invited guests. The Meet the Finalists event is a great opportunity to learn about each of the finalists and their innovations before the Awards Ceremony and network with business leaders from across South Carolina. There are 100+ registrants for this event. Become a sponsor and join us!
Innovation News Outlets
Over the past 26 years, InnoVision has maintained a loyal following in South Carolina’s innovation space by spotlighting innovation news, sharing our partners’ events, promoting the InnoVision Awards ceremony, and highlighting valued sponsors through regular e-newsletters and our social media channels. We also have strong relationships with other leading South Carolina organizations who forward our event announcements to their members, thus expanding our reach.
