We launched  the Cofinitive #OnetoWatch campaign  by announcing a new award category in the Cambridge Independent Science and Technology Awards and a new ongoing push to showcase homegrown innovation across our region. And that’s when the real work began in our search for the Ones to Watch.

The #OnetoWatch list will be divided into innovative and trailblazing people , companies and ‘things’ that are en route to being industry game-changers locally, nationally and globally.
