Each profile is researched and reported by one of the dozens of writers assigned to the project and includes interviews with the CEOs of almost all the companies on the list. Many firms are innovators with little coverage elsewhere, many others are using their cutting-edge savvy to grow their market share in traditional products and services, and are similarly underreported by the rest of the business media.

2002
SBN/Anthem Innovation in Business Conference – Rising Star Award
Co-developed by SBN and founding sponsor Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Ohio, the Innovation in Business Conference is designed to honor those companies and individuals who eat, sleep and breathe innovation. Rather than judge a company based strictly on its revenue or profits, the Innovation in Business awards are about those people whose drive to stay one step ahead of the competition is almost as strong as their wonder at developing new processes, products and services. To be considered as Visionaries, individuals or companies must demonstrate their ideas not only were one step ahead of their industry competitors, but that it was possible to turn those ideas into successful businesses. Rising Stars are those people or businesses that are quickly garnering recognition from their peers. They may be successful young companies or start-ups that are sure to effect change within their respective industries. They are the ones whose names you'll be hearing a lot more of in the years to come.
