Quest Global Innovation Awards 2024

About the Awards

In a world that is constanly changing and evolving, innovation plays a crucial role in the economic and social progress. The creation and use of new technological solutions has changed human interaction, business operations and the functioning of society as a whole.
 

However, this change conveys a big effort. Adapting the old to the new, transitions and correcting potential deviations. Innovation is more than just a great idea and the ability to develop it. It also requires the responsibility to create sustainable solutions that have a positive impact on our society. This includes improving efficiency, reducing costs, enhancing quality of life, generating employment opportunities, addressing social and environmental challenges and fostering economic growth.
 

The Quest Global Innovation Awards aim to recognize individuals, companies or institutions well recognised for producing technological improvements, creating innovative reference models or contributing to their development. But, above all, these awards are the recognition of those drivers of innovation progress. People and institutions that under the “Think out of the box” motto promote the progress of humanity.
