The Fire Awards are St. Louis Inno’s premier recognition program, honoring the companies and organizations setting the local innovation economy ablaze. This will mark the third year in which St. Louis Inno has staged its Fire Awards.
The 2024 program honors 11 startups, companies and organizations that reached key milestones in the last year. In addition, we are honoring one individual with the Legacy Entrepreneur Award this year.
The 11 finalists for our Fire Awards were sourced through nominations and chosen by the St. Louis Inno editorial team.
This year, we redesigned the program's categories to better spotlight startups and innovators at different parts of their entrepreneurial journey. The winners will be announced at an awards event on July 9 at the 18Rails venue at City Foundry. All finalists and winners will be profiled in the July 12 issue of the Business Journal.
