To celebrate the Chicago Innovation Awards, Intellectual Property Shareholder Angelo Bufalino, along with attorneys Julie Langdon, Sudip Mitra, Joshua Grant and Theodore Gelderman, joined the award winners to ring the Nasdaq closing bell in New York. Prior to the Nasdaq event, the winners attended a networking luncheon at Vedder Price’s New York office, where they shared their products and ideas with our New York attorneys. Chicago is the only city to have its top innovators come together for this annual event, which helps bring attention to the regularly occurring innovation happening in the Chicago region and shines a spotlight on the organizations that make up its vibrant economy. 

The winners of the Chicago Innovation Awards cut across all industries–high-tech and no-tech, for-profit and not-for-profit. Each organization won by addressing an unmet need in the marketplace through a unique solution that provided value to end-users and delivered impact in the marketplace, exceeding market expectations, achieving financial success and improving people’s lives. They emerge from the public, private and nonprofit sectors. Vedder Price is a proud sponsor of the Chicago Innovation Awards.
