Columbus Business First’s annual awards program recognizing innovation in technology is back for 2022 with a new name and 14 more finalists to keep an eye on as they grow.
Highlighting up-and-coming companies and entrepreneurs was our goal since 2015, when Business First began carrying on the long tradition of the former TechColumbus TopCat Awards and Innovation Awards with our BizTech Awards.
This year we’re bringing in our Columbus Inno website to the awards program after launching the innovation focused brand last fall. The Inno brand has been putting on Fire Awards in other markets for several years now and we’re proud to incorporate elements of the program.
One of those is the Inno Under 25 awards that recognize promising individuals in IT and related fields. Those seven honorees are listed below.
We'll celebrate all of this year's honorees with an in-person evening event on Thursday, Dec. 8 at the Fawcett Event Center on the campus of Ohio State University. More information and tickets can be found here.
