THE 2009 WORLD TECHNOLOGY AWARD NOMINEES
(scroll down to see all 20 categories.)


These nominees are those individuals (in 20 categories) and companies/organizations (in 10 categories) who are doing the innovative work of "the greatest likely long-term significance" in their fields. They are those creating the 21st century.

The nominees are primarily suggested by the WTN Fellows and Founding Members but we also accept additional nominees that meet the category guidelines. The WTN individual members vote their preferences and the results will be announced from the stage at the gala World Technology Awards ceremony on July 16th at the Time & Life Building in NYC at the conclusion of the two-day (July 15/16) World Technology Summit.
