Are you the most innovative company in Oxfordshire? Apply now for The Oxford Science Park Innovation Award, part of OXBA 2018
Oxford, UK, 24 January 2018 - Oxfordshire companies which have progressed valuable innovations over the past three years can apply now for The Oxford Science Park Innovation Award, one of 2018's Oxfordshire Business Awards. Open to companies of any size and from any sector, the deadline for applications is March 2. This is the third year that The Oxford Science Park, one of the UK's leading parks for science and technology companies, has sponsored the Innovation Award.
What The Oxford Science Park's judges will be looking for is the development and/or launch within the past three years of an innovative product, process, service or business method. The development should have a quantifiable benefit, both actual and projected, against key performance indicators for the applicant organisation1. Last year's winner was Perspectum Diagnostics, which detects and measures liver and biliary diseases using medical physics and image analysis. Other entries have come from industries as diverse as space, gaming, technology, computer software and telecommunications. Winners will be announced at the Oxfordshire Business Awards 2018 dinner on June 15.
Piers Scrimshaw-Wright, Managing Director of The Oxford Science Park, said, 'Every year we have been impressed by the breadth and excellence of exciting new approaches being developed across Oxfordshire. Our sponsorship of the Innovation Award for the third year reflects our position as a leading UK science and technology park with ambitious growth plans, and home to more than 70 innovative companies.'
Dr Matt Kelly, Head of Innovation at Perspectum Diagnostics, said 'When we received The Oxford Science Park Innovation Award in 2017, it was a great reflection of all that Perspectum had achieved thus far, bringing state-of-the-art liver diagnostics to the clinic. Since then the business has flourished - we have started a new study, joined a €34m research project and gained further regulatory approval of our flagship product LiverMultiScan. Receiving this prestigious Award certainly raised the profile of Perspectum and gave us confidence that we were on the right track, and I would encourage innovative companies in Oxfordshire to apply.'
