The Chicago Innovation Awards

Celebrating the Innovation Spirit

In 2002, Kuczmarski & Associates co-founded the Chicago Innovation Awards to celebrate Chicago's rich tradition of innovation. Each year the extraordinary number of innovations brought to market by the Chicago business community drives the region's financial growth. At the same time, Chicago is renowned for the creative work of its nonprofit and public sectors, which improves the lives of all who live in the region. The Chicago Innovation Awards demonstrate that all types of innovation are thriving in the country's heartland.

The Future of Innovation

Over the past six years, the Chicago Innovation Awards has grown steadily in size and stature. The 2007 Awards, held on October 22, was the biggest and the best yet, receiving more than 250 nominations, and attracting nearly 700 guests to Chicago's Goodman Theatre. The 2007 Awards also served as the kick off for the City of Chicago's first Innovation Week. K&A and the supporting sponsors and partners are proud to see the innovation is truly thriving in and around Chicago.
