The economist's eighth annual Innovation Summit will take place in London on October 30th. Speakers from industry and academia will examine the latest trends in the management of innovation, from laboratory to marketplace. At an awards ceremony on October 29th, we will honour successful innovators in a range of fields.rnAccordingly, readers are invited to nominate outstanding innovators in seven categories: bioscience; energy and the environment; computing and telecoms; "no boundaries" (which includes materials science, nanotech-rnnology and other emerging fields); consumer products and services; business processes; and social and economic innovation, a category that recognises individuals who have pioneered novel technologies and business models that improve everyday lives.
