Autonomy's CEO and founder, Dr Mike Lynch, won the Innovator of the Year award at Claridge's Hotel in London yesterday.

The award comes from the European Business Leaders Awards (EBLA) 2008 program, presented by CNBC Europe. This year it was for the first time conducted in partnership with the Financial Times. It is now in its fifth year and was created to identify and honour those CEOs who are making a difference through leadership and innovation in their sectors.

Other finalists included Henning Kagermann of SAP and Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo of Nokia.

Autonomy describes itself as the leader in meaning-based computing. This, it says, enables computers to understand the relationships that exist between disparate pieces of information and perform sophisticated analysis operations with real business value, automatically and in real-time.

The company recently bought Zantaz, a prominent company in the legal eDiscovery market.
