I-Awards.
Nonprofit sector. The Center for Nonprofit Excellence and Social Innovation (CNESI) created the I-Awards to recognize and celebrate innovation and creativity in the nonprofit sector of Central Minnesota. Our definition of innovation is: "A novel solution to a social problem that is more effective, efficient, sustainable, or just, than existing solutions and for which the value created accrues primarily to society as a whole rather than private individuals."
For profit sector. CNESI's Major Sponsor for the Innovation Summit, the Greater St. Cloud Development Corporation (GSDC), is a nonprofit collaboration of approximately 100 regional public and private organizations in Central Minnesota. A major strategic focus of GSDC is to foster and promote innovative thinking among area businesses. The GSDC presents an annual Innovation Award to for-profit organizations, which recognizes St. Cloud area for-profit organizations employing innovation to solve problems and create opportunities.
