The Most Exciting Moonshot identifies the boldest businesses and individuals, as they rip up the rule book to create a better world. Moonshots are recognised for their ability to radically impact human progress.

Jane Bown, sponsorship and events Manager of Audi UK , said: “what3words has found a solution to the problem of accurately and memorably addressing the entire world, a breakthrough that, in its own way, is as important as the moon landings.”
