The American Business Awards (the ABAs) are the Stevie Awards’ flagship U.S. business honors, recognizing achievement across company performance, products, services, and innovations; the Innovation of the Year category is part of that program. The Stevie Awards run the competition, and companies pursue it for national recognition, credibility with customers and investors, and the chance to be evaluated by a large panel of business professionals. Credibility signals include broad U.S. eligibility, multi-stage judging by 200+ professionals, and public announcement of Gold, Silver, and Bronze winners.
