In 2024, PHL Inno is again recognizing the companies and individuals setting the region's startup ecosystem ablaze for our third annual Fire Awards. Nominations for the program are now being accepted and can be submitted through June 10.
We’re seeking companies — from growth-stage startups to later-stage tech pillars — and individuals from those companies or accelerators, venture capital firms, higher education institutions, nonprofits and other arenas. We're specifically looking for those that are driving Greater Philadelphia's innovation scene forward by securing new funding, investing in innovative ways, adding employee headcount, making an impact on the community, launching new products, experiencing overall growth, or otherwise reshaping the ecosystem.
Nominees must be located in Greater Philadelphia. A complete list of qualifying counties and other parameters can be found on our nomination form.
Nominations will be reviewed by our editorial team, which will determine this year's honorees and "Blazers." Blazers are at the very height of the game in their respective categories and will be revealed in a special edition of the Philadelphia Business Journal in August.
Submit a nomination for 2024 here.
