Since 2005, Business News has recognized Western Australia’s fastest-growing, private companies through their Annual Rising Stars Awards.
Following an impressive year of bringing IQbuds™ to market and global expansion, Nuheara is extremely proud to have been named the Business News Rising Stars overall winner for 2017. Nominees for the award were judged on the following criteria:
“Entrants were judged across a number of metrics, including revenue and staff growth, as well as digital statistics such as usage, web traffic and app downloads. Businesses also needed to present a solid growth strategy and commitment to continued growth to become a Rising Stars finalist.”
