“We are delighted to have been short listed in the Environment category for a 2013 World Technology Award. Being publicly recognized by such an esteemed group of peers, and by the leadership of the WTN itself, is a great honor to our company”, said Biofungitek’s co-founder and scientific officer, Dr. Unai Ugalde.
The winners of the 2013 World Technology Awards will be announced during a ceremony at the historic Time-Life Building in New York City on the evening of November 15th at the close of the 12th Annual World Technology Summit, a two-day "thought leadership" conference (Nov. 14/15) held at the TIME Conference center and presented by the WTN in association with TIME magazine, Fortune, CNN, Science/AAAS, and others.
“This year we are more eager than ever to pay tribute to the talent and innovation of our individual and corporate honorees”, said James P. Clark, Founder and Chairman of the World Technology Network. Clark continued, “This event is the ultimate global platform to honor visionary contributions in the science and technology arenas. The World Technology Awards program is not only a very inspiring way to identify and honor 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 WTN Fellows, and as part of our global community. By working to make useful connections among our members, we look forward to assisting Biofungitek in continuing to help create our collective future and change our world.”
