I recently came across the announcement of the 2021 Wisconsin Innovation Awards finalists. It's impressive to see that over 330 businesses, products, and services were nominated, and a panel of 27 industry experts narrowed it down to 29 finalists. This showcases the vibrant innovation landscape in Wisconsin. I'm curious, has anyone here attended the awards ceremony before? What was your experience like? Also, are there any standout finalists this year that we should keep an eye on?
I remember attending the Wisconsin Innovation Awards ceremony back in 2019, and it was a fantastic experience. The energy in the room was palpable, with so many creative minds gathered together. While I haven't attended the 2021 ceremony, I did some digging into the finalists. One that caught my eye is Understory, based in Madison. They specialize in weather data analytics, which is crucial for various industries. Another notable finalist is Ruby Coffee Roasters from Nelsonville; their dedication to sourcing and roasting high-quality beans is commendable.
