Details
The SXSW Innovation Awards recognize the most exciting, most promising and most inspiring new endeavors across 10 different categories.
This competition highlights new projects that have been launched in the last 12 months. Unlike SXSW Pitch (which focuses on the forward-thinking business models of new startups), the SXSW Innovation Awards showcase the merits of specific releases — these releases can come from either new or established companies.
