Valista nominated for the 2004 World Technology Awards
Winners will be announced on October 8, 2004, in San Francisco,
at the World Technology Awards gala ceremony at San Francisco
City Hall at the conclusion of the two-day World Technology Summit.
The World Technology Awards honour individuals and corporations
from twenty (20) technology-related sectors viewed by their peers
as being the most innovative and doing the work of the greatest
likely long-term significance. Award categories range from biotechnology,
space and energy through to ethics, design and entertainment.
According to Raomal Perera, CEO of Valista, "We are delighted
to have been nominated for the Communications Technology Category
of the 2004 World Technology Awards – recognition from one’s
peers means so much more than other kinds of honours.”
James P. Clark, founder and Chairman of the World Technology
Network, added, “The World Technology Awards program is
not only a very inspiring way to identify and honour the most
innovative people and organizations in the technology world, but
it also is a truly disciplined way for the WTN membership to identify
those who will formally join them as part of our global community.
I wish Valista every continued success in their activity and am
confident that their work will continue to help create our future
and change our world.”
Nominees for the 2004 World Technology Awards were identified
based on an intensive, global process in which current WTN members
(primarily winners and finalists of previous Awards cycles, who
now number over 700, spread out over 54 countries) made their
nominations based on who they think is doing the innovative work
of the greatest likely long-term significance within their particular
field.
This year’s World Technology Awards ceremony will cap the
2004 World Technology Summit taking place on in San Francisco
on the 7th and 8th of October at the historic Fairmont Hotel.
This year’s Summit will also include for the first time,
a Chief Technology Officers (CTO) Showcase, enabling a small selection
of companies to discuss their work in detail with Summit delegates.
