A Competition Organized by A.T. Kearney

Welcome to the Best Innovator 2012 website - the innovation management contest.

We believe that innovation drives economic progress. For businesses it means sustained growth, for their customers higher-quality and better-value goods and services. For the economy as a whole, innovation is the key to higher productivity and continued competitiveness.

The Best Innovator competition is already for several years providing its contestants with a wide array of insights and findings to help them improve their innovation practices, generate growth and remain/ become more competitive. The competition evaluates the process, which the companies use to approach innovations. Since its introduction in 2003 to the German market the contest has become an annual "Benchmarking Against the Best in Innovation Management". This year is the first time the competition is organized for companies active on the Czech market.

Since 2003, over 1200 European companies from various industries have participated. Apart from the Czech Republic A.T. Kearney organizes the competition in several European and choice non-European markets – Germany, France, Austria, Switzerland, Great Britain, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Italy, Belgium, Luxemburg, Croatia, Slovenia, Russia and Brazil.
