Fruitbowl - Fresh Ideas from Hawke's Bay

Is Your Business linked into the Hawke's Bay Land, Water or Climate?
Got a business plan?
Time for a little recognition?

There's a new opportunity in this year's Chamber of Commerce Business Awards, The Business Innovation Award - sponsored by Hawke's Bay Regional Council and Venture Hawke's Bay.

Now it's your chance to get some well deserved recognition for your business and staff.

Have a look at the basic criteria below:

The Hawke's Bay Regional Council and Venture Hawke's Bay
BUSINESS INNOVATION AWARD

Open to all businesses & organisations that can demonstrate innovation, building on key elements in Hawke's Bay's environment - land, water, climate, people - creating new products or services that embrace future-focused technologies or systems that are New Zealand-leading or are moving towards success in this area.

The judges will be looking for:

• a clear explanation of how Hawke's Bay's strengths have been harnessed to develop this innovation, and how the use of resources has been considered
• a clear plan under which this has been developed
• a clear marketing plan to make this product or service 'profitable'
• evidence of success

If you are interested, please contact Ross Holden on ross@nettel.net.nz who can provide you with more details.

The Hawke's Bay Chamber of Commerce Business Awards event is held each year early in November.
