Chamber Member, Inovus Medical are proud to announce that they are the winners of the Trailblazing Tech 2021 Award. The Trailblazing Tech Conference took place at the Lowry Hotel, Manchester, on Friday 2nd July 2021. The day was filled with engaging live demonstrations from key leaders from all sectors.
By definition, trailblazing is the activity of introducing new ideas or method in an innovative or pioneering way. However, the global pandemic has changed everything. The way we shop has changed, with high street brands disappearing or becoming online only. The way we educate our children and the way we engage and recruit, and as a by product increased the need for those in-demand digital and technical skills. We’ve seen advances in healthcare, from smart ambulances to prescriptions delivered by drone and we’ve also seen that whilst the world slowed down for a few months, technology has enabled us to work towards a greener future with a new focus on infrastructure and how we build communities.
pro-manchester wanted to celebrate this by giving tech businesses the opportunity to do a live demonstration in front of an audience of over 250 business leaders. The finalists then presented their tech products at the Trailblazing Tech 2021 event, whilst giving the audience the opportunity to vote and decide who their winner of the pro-manchester Trailblazing Tech Award for 2021 would be. The audience cast their and pro-manchester are excited to announce the winner of the Trailblazing Tech 2021 award is Inovus Medical.
