As a business with a major interest in the value and impact of innovation, we are delighted to be sponsoring the upcoming NOVO Awards, which will recognise the groundbreaking success of businesses in Essex.

Newly launched this year, the awards focus on business, service and product innovation across six category streams, with judges also looking for organisations that exhibit the qualities of being smart, ethical and principled.

IJYI is sponsoring the Economy Stream, which focuses on a range of key business drivers from positive and sustainable business growth, diversification of revenue streams and penetration of new markets to economic contribution to society and workforce engagement, among a range of other factors.

The entry process is now open, with full details available at the NOVO Awards website. Good luck to everyone entering this year.
