The awards recognize technology leaders in six industry sectors: Advanced Manufacturing; Energy and Environmental; Life Sciences; New Media, Internet, and Telecom; IT Services; and Software. Recipients of this award have had strong revenue growth of at least $3 million in annual revenue as well growth in each of the preceding four years.
