Hi there,

As we begin the new year, there’s no better time to reflect on what makes your company’s culture truly exceptional. At Fast Company, we believe innovation thrives in workplaces that empower creativity, collaboration, and bold ideas. That’s why we’re excited to invite you to apply for the 2025 Best Workplaces for Innovators Awards.

This prestigious recognition celebrates companies of all sizes and industries that are fostering groundbreaking work and supporting their employees' potential. It’s your chance to shine a spotlight on the unique culture, practices, and programs that make your organization a hub for innovation.

We’ve made a few key changes this year, including 3 new categories we’ll be recognizing companies in. These include our all new AI, Automation, and Machine Learning Excellence, Excellence Through Adversity, and Flexible Workplace Innovation categories. We’ll also continue to honor the innovative leaders and teams of the year in their own distinct categories.

The early-rate deadline to apply is Friday, February 7. Don’t miss this opportunity to start the new year by gaining well-deserved recognition for your team’s achievements.

You can begin your application here.

If you have any questions about this year’s application, please don’t hesitate to let us know.

Cordially,
Fast Company
