BIG Innovation Awards

Although AI and IT-focused companies won most of the 2019 (Business Intelligence Group) BIG Innovation Awards, four awards went to chem-oriented companies. Two technologies from Dow, as well as the company’s Coating Materials research division won awards.  Also, Anuvia Plant Nutrients won an  award for its work toward making agriculture more sustainable, while at the same time, more productive. The annual awards program recognizes the organizations, products and people that bring new ideas to life.

 “Creating materials and solutions that exceed customer needs, transform our world and deliver shareholder value is why we innovate,” said A.N. Sreeram, senior vice president, Research and Development, and chief technology officer in a Dow news release. “We are grateful for this recognition from Business Intelligence Group of our talented Dow teams and breakthrough innovations.”
