The Pet Industry Federation is reminding all pet businesses that entries for the inaugural Innovation of the Year Award close in one month’s time (April 7th). This new award is open to all businesses in the pet sector, including product, service or tech and a judging panel will select ten finalists to present their innovation at the Business of Pets conference, giving them unprecedented access to potential investors. The winner will be chosen on the final day of the conference (June 8th).

Nigel Baker, CEO of PIF commented: “We’ve had fantastic feedback for the Business of Pets two day conference which we launched recently and the Innovation of the Year award will be an integral part of that new event. I would encourage all pet innovators to enter for the Innovation of the Year Award; all ten finalists will get a fantastic opportunity to pitch their innovation during the conference.”
