Research and Development Awards

Research and development (R&D) is a vital process that drives innovation, productivity and competitiveness in various sectors and industries. From creating new products and services to improving existing ones, R&D is essential for solving complex problems and advancing human knowledge. To celebrate the achievements and contributions of R&D professionals and organisations across the globe, Acquisition International magazine is proud to announce the return of the Research & Development Awards for its second year! The Research & Development Awards 2023 aims to recognise and reward excellence in R&D across a wide range of fields and disciplines. Whether it is in biotechnology, engineering, software, or any other domain, the Research & Development Awards 2023 will showcase the people and practices that are leading the way in R&D. The Research & Development Awards are open to all individuals, teams, companies, and institutions that are involved in any aspect of R&D, from planning and funding to execution and evaluation. The R&D industry in the last 12 months has seen an exponential speed of growth, reflecting the current trends and challenges that shape the landscape in 2023. Some of these trends include artificial intelligence (AI), which is becoming ubiquitous in organizations, green technology addressing environmental issues, gene editing altering nature itself, and robotics enhancing human capabilities; amongst some. These trends pose new opportunities as well as a need for innovation within the R&D field. The Research & Development Awards will therefore seek to reward those who demonstrate unmatched levels of innovation. As a leading online publication that reaches over 108,000 subscribers worldwide, Acquisition International magazine aims to highlight the importance of R&D for economic growth and social progress and ensure global industry recognition for those who go on to be successful. There is a simple yet rigorous merit-driven process that ensures fairness and transparency. Alongside nominations, we have our dedicated in-house research team that source, analyse and reward businesses that we think deserve to be recognised for their achievements. Using this method means that, regardless of industry or size, firms and individuals can be judged on a level playing field. The voting process is open to anyone who wishes to nominate an individual or organization for an award. This awards programme is completely free to enter and if your firm is lucky enough to be successful, you will be presented to our circulation of 108,000 and promoted on our website for a minimum of 12 months. In addition, our awardees are welcome to choose from our range of competitively priced promotional opportunities to increase exposure of the good news to a global audience, via Acquisition International’s magazine, website, and social media platforms!
