This second Knowledge Innovation Award, held to evaluate the innovative activities of Knowledge Capital participants and introduce them to society at large, includes as it did last year Mono (Product) and Koto (Project) Categories that showcase the products, projects, workshops and events that have grown out of Knowledge Capital. This year it also includes a new Junior High School Student Idea Category focused on the theme of Work in the Future.
In the final selection and award ceremony, final nominees in each category who have cleared the document screening stage give presentations and the award winners are decided.
