50 To Watch Expert Panel
The 50 To Watch Expert Panel is made up of over 30 early-stage innovation experts from five continents. The panel is diverse in geography, age and background, and at gender parity. First, we asked the panel to nominate the companies that most impressed them with their early-stage high-impact solutions. We combined that with our own nominations and research on public early-stage awards. We then put this group of companies through qualitative and impact filters. We weighted all nominations by relevance trying to keep a sectoral and geographic balance. A shortlist of 150 companies was reviewed and scored by the Expert Panel to reach the final 50.
