Awards Ceremony and Innovation Celebration Dinner
– December 6, 2010
FPTT Awards
Increasingly, the priority of Government has been to commercialize the achievements of federal laboratories, which translates into economic, social, medical and other benefits for Canadians.
Since establishing its annual awards program in 1998, FPTT has honoured 61 teams and individuals who have developed and transferred a wide array of technologies. These technologies have created jobs, generated wealth and contributed to the general well-being of Canadians.
Individually, each recipient of an FPTT award stands as an example of the entrepreneurial drive and risk-taking that are the linchpins of successful innovation. Together, the group exemplifies the depth and breadth of technological and business talent in Canada’s federal laboratories.
The FPTT Excellence in Technology Transfer Award recognizes both economic and commercial success as well as success in applying new knowledge from research and development (R&D) activities to public and social goals. The FPTT Leadership in Technology Transfer Award recognizes outstanding skill in technology transfer and/or excellence in technology transfer management.
