The John Logie Baird Awards were established in 1989 by Scottish Innovation on the centenary of the inventor's birth, in celebration of Scotland's best known inventor. From small beginnings the John Logie Baird Awards have grown to a competition of Scottish national significance and are now the longest running national innovation awards in Scotland, receiving an average of 300 applications per year.

Winners were honoured in front of three hundred industry experts and guests, including television inventor John Logie Baird's grandson, Ian Baird. The awards were launched to commemorate the work of Scottish inventor.

Winners received a business support package worth £20,000 to progress their businesses. Isabell Majewsky, chief executive of award organisers The GO Group, said: "All of our winners really impressed our judging panel, who saw pitches from hundreds of inventors and innovators. They encompass what the John Logie Baird Awards are all about  entrepreneurship, passion and dedication."

Colin Macdonald, Studio Manager, Realtime Worlds said: "This award means a lot to Realtime Worlds. It feels fantastic to be recognised for all our hard work over the years, and what greater honour than to receive an award which celebrates one of Scotland's greatest inventors - John Logie Baird."

The JLB Awards are run in partnership with the Technology Strategy Board, Informatics Ventures, the University of Glasgow Innovation Network, Biggart Baillie LLP, EDTC Technology Gateway and Edinburgh Napier University and Pera Innovation Network.
