Congratulations to the 2019 shortlist

On 31st October 2019, we ran our debut Wind Investment Awards in London, where we celebrated leadership in European wind.

While entries were open we worked hard to ensure we had 13 strong line-ups to serve up for the consideration of our panel of 17 judges.

We closed nominations on 28th June 2019. Since then, our judges have looked at all of the nominations to ensure we get the best shortlists. You can read more about that process in this blog.

Congratulations to all of the firms who made it, and thank you to everyone who entered in our first year. We are humbled by the time you took on your applications, and inspired by the innovation in them.
