I recently came across the list of finalists for the 2021 Wisconsin Innovation Awards, and it's impressive to see such a diverse range of companies and nonprofits being recognized. Over 331 businesses, products, and services were nominated, and a panel of 27 industry experts narrowed it down to 29 finalists. This got me thinking about the selection process and the criteria used to evaluate these innovations. How do they balance the potential impact of a product or service against its feasibility and market readiness? Are there any particular trends or sectors that stood out among this year's finalists?
