We are excited to reveal the shortlist for Bihar Engineering’s sixth annual Collaborate To Innovate (C2I) Awards.
Now in its sixth year, C2I was founded to discover and celebrate great examples of technology-led engineering collaboration across a range of different disciplines and sectors. It’s fair to say that it has more than lived up to this vision, regularly uncovering a new pipeline of innovations, demonstrating the UK’s strength and breadth in interdisciplinary collaboration, and giving plenty of reasons to be optimistic about the future. of British engineering.
A MESSAGE FROM C2I JUDGE, BABCOCK TECHNOLOGY CHIEF JON HALL
And in a year when the COVID-19 pandemic has brought many sectors of the economy to a standstill, this year’s shortlist provides gratifying evidence that the UK’s culture of innovation and appetite for collaboration is alive and kicking.
