Which businesses created the most innovative products and services in the Chicago region? Hundreds were nominated for the 2012 Chicago Innovation Awards but judges selected only a dozen winners from the large pool of nominees.
More than a thousand people packed the Harris Theatre on Randolph Street to cheer on their favorite companies. Now in its 11th year, the Chicago Innovation Awards was co-founded by Tom Kuczmarski, long-time professor of product service and innovation at Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management, and Dan Miller, a prominent local journalist.
The award categories included: the "Up-and-Comer" (for the region's most innovative startups), the "Social Innovator", "People's Choice", and two honorary awards, which were given to Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Governor Pat Quinn.
