Each and every application is hand-reviewed by a Fast Company editor. Innovation is at the core of Fast Company’s mission. Plus, this year we’ll have more than 600 honorees across 58 different industries, global regions, and company sizes. We’ve also liberated each category from the traditional limit of 10 honorees, which means we’re able to recognize every worthy applicant!

Fast Company continuously revisits the Most Innovative Companies applicant pool throughout the year, offering opportunities for future stories, participation in speaking events, and even exclusive invitations, whether an honoree or not. Honorees of the list will receive invitations to the next Most Innovative Companies Summit and MIC Honoree Dinner, to be held in NYC, spring 2024. Take a look at this video of last year’s honoree dinner.

Exclusively available to Most Innovative Company applicants only! For the very first time, all applicants will receive an exclusive Innovation Trends Report curated by Fast Company editors (valued at over $1,000).
