Dallas Innovates 2020—The Magazine, our third annual print publication publishing in December, will highlight Dallas-Fort Worth as a hub for innovation.
In it, we will spotlight 50 innovators and disruptors in the region who are having a breakout moment this year.
Called the “Future 50,” the feature will recognize innovators who are a force for the future. These are people who have the potential to disrupt businesses, industry sectors, benefit society, or change the world through innovation in their respective fields.
Who do you recommend?
We’re looking for people in North Texas who are working on things that can have an impact on the future.
Our focus is on people who had a “breakout moment” in 2019. We want people with innovations that can have positive impact, in Dallas-Fort Worth and beyond.
They can be a force for the future through innovative businesses, technology, products, research, ideas, policies, strategies, or design. Your recommendations are open to all fields.
This could include people from startups, multinationals, education, or nonprofits. Recommendations can include technology innovators, as well as researchers, new urbanists, social innovators, and creatives.
