Dear Members and Friends Having announced the winners of your Chamber’s 2017 Awards just over a month ago, I’m delighted today to launch the 2018 SICC Awards! As before, our Awards celebrate, learn from and recognise collaborative innovations. Members and non-members alike can submit nominations. Our past award winners and finalists have enjoyed heightened visibility to both the business community and media. This can only open more doors and more opportunities for them. I invite your company to participate in the Awards whether your collaboration is between large and small companies or between two or more small companies. Here are the four award categories for the 2018 SICC Awards:  • Most Transformational Collaboration • Most Scalable Collaboration • Best Technological Collaboration • Best Green Collaboration Taking part could not be easier. You only need to submit your answers to eight questions. Shortlisted finalists will be invited to present their collaboration to the judging panel which will be announced shortly.
