Private companies and government departments have been invited to enter the Innovation PNG 2023 Awards to promote individuals or teams within their organization that have come up with innovations to ease day to day issues, or issues faced in the community. Business Advantage International Publishing Director Mr. Andrew Wilkins sent out the invitation on Thursday 29th June, when announcing the Innovation PNG 2023 Conference for November 10th. “This is an opportunity to really acknowledge and award those people who are doing cool stuff here in PNG, people actually here on the ground who are innovative,” he said. There will be categories, not just for big businesses and companies, but also for Small to Medium Enterprises (SMEs) as well, and also for the government. “So, everybody has the opportunity to be acknowledged.” Organizations in both the private and public sectors have been encouraged to enter the Innovation PNG 2023 Awards, of which the entry will formally open in September. Mr. Wilkins added that there are a lot of innovative ideas or innovations created by Papua New Guineas that deserve acknowledgement and recognition. This award is aimed at doing just that and therefore, organizations are encouraged to enter. The Innovation PNG 2023 Awards Night will be hosted on the 09th of November, the night before the Innovation PNG 2023 Conference on the 10th of November.
