about the mansmith innovation awards
Discover
The Mansmith Innovation Awards is one of the advocacy projects of Mansmith and Fielders, Inc. that seeks to recognize top Filipino innovators whose works have been proven to provide new value in the industry and demonstrate commercial viability.
Our Goal
To foster a culture of innovation in businesses, public sectors and NGOs, encouraging them to think differently, see things differently and do things differently.
To support the government's initiatives to improve the country's global innovation ranking and to address the low number of patents, Mansmith and Fielders is organizing and presenting the Mansmith Innovation Awards.
The Trophy
The on-the-round trophy design by 2006 Ten Outstanding Young Persons of the World (TOYP) and 2001 Ten Outstanding Young Men of the Philippines (TOYM) Awardee Juan Sajid Imao shows two figures gracefully bending to form a stylized “M” (to refer to Mansmith.) The fluid, circular forms of the figures symbolize how outstanding Filipino innovators “bend” their way of thinking beyond the ordinary. As a result, these innovators are able to unleash their creativity to stand out in their respective fields.
