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 five years, the Chicago Innovation Awards has grown steadily in size and stature. In 2010, the Awards received more than 300 nominations, and over 700 business and civic leaders attended the awards ceremony at Chicago's Goodman Theatre. K&A and other supporting sponsors and partners have driven the emergence of innovation as an idea central to the growth of every sector of the Chicago region.
