Now in its ninth year, C2I was launched to uncover and celebrate great examples of engineering collaboration – a dynamic critical to addressing many of the challenges and problems faced by society.
The competition is open to innovative technology led projects which are underpinned by collaboration between two or more separate organisations and which have had - or are likely to have - a positive impact in their area of application.
Entries are invited from projects addressing challenges across nine categories, including automotive; aerospace, defence and security; information, data and connectivity; healthcare and medical; energy and environment; and manufacturing technology.
Alongside the sector awards, this year’s competition also features two categories focused on the next generation of engineers: Young Innovator (a special category for school student engineering projects) and STEM Initiative (a new category set up to champion efforts to inspire young people to consider a career in engineering). In addition, a brand new category (The Impact Award for Innovation Excellence) has been introduced to recognise the achievements of some of the sector's longest-serving individual innovators.

Commenting on the launch of the awards, The Engineer’s editor Jon Excell said: “Collaboration is critical to solving some of the biggest challenges we face and the C2I awards was set up to celebrate this. Myself and the rest of the C2I judging panel are really excited about seeing what fascinating projects and innovations this year’s competition uncovers.”
The closing date for entries is midnight on Friday, 6th September, and the winners will be revealed at a drinks reception in February 2025 at One Great George Street, London.
