Innovation is very important to the Leicester Riders Foundation, which is why it has chosen to sponsor the Innovation in Schools category at the LeicestershireLive Innovation Awards.
The Leicester Riders Foundation, the charitable arm of the Riders, has a very significant commitment to the education sector, with qualified coaches from the foundation in schools in the city and county, on a daily basis.
Foundation trustee Kevin
Routledge explained why innovation matters.
“Our foundation is focussed on providing a rounded service to young people, which best enables them to be fit and healthy, physically and mentally, and to achieve their potential,” he said. “Funding is always limited, and the challenges are great, but young people are immersed in technology, and innovation can provide very cost effective solutions to overcome the barriers.”
The LeicestershireLive Innovation Awards 2020 will once again celebrate the very best technology, services, digital advances, and creative thinking that Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland have to offer.
We at LeicestershireLive want to celebrate the individuals, teams, businesses and public sector bodies that are leading the way in research and development and in manufacturing techniques, software and digital technologies.
We also want to honour the manufacturers, engineers and the construction specialists who are also be an expo featuring guests speakers sharing their expertise in innovation and technology and a chance for some of the county’s most exciting product developers and innovators to once again showcase their work.
The sponsors and finalists’ networking event will be held on Wednesday, February 19, with an expo and awards on February 27.
