Lights, Camera, Action!

Yesterday afternoon the winners of the 2023 SICC Awards for Collaborative Innovation provided the learning component of our awards programme. They shared their collaboration stories with all their challenges and how they overcame them so more of you can benefit from their experiences. This is what differentiates the Chamber’s awards from most other programmes: our commitment to enabling you to learn from our winners to encourage more businesses to collaborate to innovate. No business no matter how big or small can do everything by itself. We all need each other to work together to achieve new products, services and capabilities and bring them to market faster.
