The Innovation Strategy Awards, presented annually at Future Festival World Summit, are now accepting nominations for 2025. These prestigious awards recognize groundbreaking innovation tactics and strategies from global business leaders, celebrating those who are reshaping industries and driving meaningful change.

Set to be presented at Future Festival World Summit on September 23rd, 2025, the awards spotlight exceptional leaders across six key categories:


  • Ability to Change: Recognizing leaders who successfully navigate organizational transformation

  • Culture of Innovation: Honoring those who foster environments of creative thinking and experimentation

  • Infectious Messaging: Celebrating innovative approaches to value proposition and consumer engagement

  • Opportunity Hunting: Acknowledging strategic identification of emerging opportunities

  • Adaptive Innovation: Recognizing excellence in navigating market disruption

  • Sustainability Impact: Honoring breakthrough approaches to environmental stewardship


Previous winners include industry pioneers like Vicki Hollub, CEO of Occidental, recognized for her bold $1 billion investment in Direct Air Carbon Capture technology, and David Lee of Kellanova, awarded for innovative cultural marketing strategies that redefined brand engagement.

"These awards represent more than just recognition—they're a showcase of actionable innovation frameworks that can transform organizations," says Jeremy Gutsche, CEO of Trend Hunter. "Each winner's story provides valuable insights into successful innovation implementation."

New for 2025: All innovation leaders who participate in an Innovation Strategy interview are automatically considered for an award nomination, creating an expanded opportunity for recognition of excellence in the field.

Do you know a leader or organization driving remarkable innovation? Whether it's transforming company culture, pioneering new business models, or revolutionizing customer engagement, we want to hear their story.
