Celebrating "Innovation that Inspires"
At the Gainesville Area Chamber of Commerce, we know innovation isn’t about the latest gadget or tech tool. It’s a way of thinking that fundamentally challenges you, your peers, and your industry. It’s an idea that leads a new way of delivering for your customers and ultimately gives your company, and the Gainesville region, a competitive advantage in your industry.

This year, we’re celebrating “Innovation that Inspires.” We want to honor those that don’t just think differently, but fundamentally challenge their company to act. We want to rally the community around those companies that have embraced change, taken a risk, and launched a new direction, establishing their company, and Gainesville as a whole, as an international hub for innovation.

Whether you’re a restaurateur that has challenged the notion of a traditional menu, a startup at a hub redefining the way we see our smartphones or consume energy, or an advanced manufacturer revolutionizing your systems and processes to deliver your products better and faster, we know that it wasn’t the technology that started it – It was the idea.

Every company in Gainesville innovates. It’s what makes our community more competitive, more advanced, and more attractive to companies, talent, and communities than anywhere else in the world.
