John Baker, ICIS Innovation Awards manager at ICIS, comments: "We are delighted to have the continued support of all three sponsors again, a sign that the Awards continue to be successful in their goal of highlighting the importance of innovation in the chemical industry.

"The awards continue to gain industry support and recognition and last year attracted a high level and quality of entries. We once again look forward to highlighting the very best of innovation in the chemical industry."
