Nominate Australia's biotech leaders for this year's Industry Excellence Awards


Tuesday, 05 August, 2014

Who do you think are the industry’s high achievers? The annual Industry Excellence Awards celebrate the individuals and organisations that have made a significant contribution to the biotechnology industry and, through their leadership, continue to make a difference to the growth of the bio-economy. The recipients of these prestigious awards are at the forefront of thriving biotech, innovation and healthcare sectors in Australia.

Last year’s winners were:

  • Industry Leadership Award - Professor Ian Frazer
  • Emerging Company of the Year - Allied Healthcare Group (recently renamed Admedus)
  • Company of the Year - Nanosonics

Johnson & Johnson and AusBiotech are delighted to announce that the Johnson & Johnson 2014 Industry Excellence Awards, in three categories, are now open for nominations.

Award categories

  • Industry Leadership Award: This award seeks candidates who have already made a significant difference to the industry and have an outstanding commitment to life sciences/biotechnology that often goes beyond the ‘job description’. Candidates will be known for their passion, enthusiasm and commitment to the industry in Australia.
  • Australian Company of the Year Award: The Australian Company of the Year will be awarded to a company that has demonstrated significant achievement/s, and may include any company working in biotechnology or life sciences, including but not limited to the medical diagnostics or devices, pharmaceutical and agricultural biotechnology sectors. Criteria for companies may include deals done, product pipeline, IP, company strategy and/or revenue.
  • Australian Emerging Company of the Year Award: The Emerging Company of the Year award will be based on the same criteria as above, but be specific to companies under five years of age.

The awards will be announced at the opening reception of the AusBiotech 2014 national conference. Entries close on Friday, 26 September.
