SIGInnova Opens Application Period for Most Innovative Sourcing Products
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (PRWEB) February 05, 2019 -- SIGInnova (formerly SIG Innovation Accelerator) in conjunction with its partner, Sourcing Industry Group (SIG), announces the opening of applications for its third cohort of emerging products that are based on advanced technologies. SIGInnova’s mission is to help F1000 procurement leaders stay at the forefront of deploying new solutions that have the potential for extraordinary financial, supplier relations and risk management benefits. All categories of applicable products are encouraged to apply, and there is no application fee.
SIGInnova, working with members of its F500 Procurement Executives Leadership Council, will select four to five products to complement the seven products that were selected during this past year. Providers of these new products will present during SIG’s Global Executive Summit in April 2019 to procurement executives who have expressed a high level of interest in innovative Source through Supply Chain solutions. (Approximately fifty procurement executives participated in each of SIGInnova’s 2018 events.) Attendees will be engaged in advance of the April event to optimize their interaction with selected product providers, including initial considerations of the fit of these products within their enterprises.
Following the Global Executive Summit in April, SIGInnova will work with selected providers to help enable their access to SIG’s interested members, facilitate communications and accelerate the cycle for product refinement and potential sales.
SIGInnova was founded and is led by Barry Wiegler, who is also the founder and former CEO of Sourcing Industry Group. If you would like to discuss the potential fit of your product within SIGInnova, contact Barry Wiegler at [email protected] or, to apply, visit Inquire at http://www.siginnova.com.
