InnoVision Awards honor distinguished South Carolina businesses, organizations, and individuals who set new standards for innovation and technology advancement. Each year, three finalists are chosen in six categories and showcased during the annual InnoVision Awards celebration. 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

The Awards Celebration culminates presenting the prestigious Dr. Charles Townes Individual Achievement Award, which recognizes decades of significant contributions to South Carolina innovation.
