The Arizona Commerce Authority and Arizona Technology Council named the winners and finalists today for the 11th annual Governor’s Celebration of Innovation (GCOI) awards. You can read about it at the Phoenix Business Journal.
As always, a great list of finalists and winners. We were once again pleased to see a tow PADT customers in the list:
- SynCardia Systems in Tucson is a finalist for the Innovator of the Year Award – Small Company
- Securaplane Technologies, in Oro Valley, is a finalist for the Innovator of the Year Award – Large Business
These two outstanding companies, along with the other finalists, show the breadth and depth of technology companies in Arizona. From industry leading small business software providers to a start-up built around a better shovel, tech companies across the state are growing and making people around the world stand up and take notice.
The educational Award winners and finalists were also great to see, showing the future of technology is also strong. The Future Innovators of the Year are always our favorite, their projects making me feel like I really slacked in High School.
As usual, PADT will be at this years Celebration where the awards, 3D Printed by PADT, will be handed out. We hope to see many of you there.
