2017 FINALISTS

Three of the finalists are innovation-based businesses, and the other three finalists have a focus on Goods and Services.

The 2017 Innovation Stream finalists are Dock HitchHinge, Lab Improvements, and Mont Pellier for the Innovation Stream.

The finalists for the Goods & Services Stream include That Dam Tea (TreeWell Limited), Loch, and Ship Shape Service.

The finale event will expose the finalists to a cross-examination, challenging questions and feedback by the judges before a live audience at The Venue. The selected finalists’ presentations will be scored based on innovation, commercialization, diversification, business plan quality and the benefit to the local economy, and two final 2017 winners will be selected.
