Celebrating the Best: FPTT Recognizes Excellence and Leadership In Technology Transfer

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 57 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 the transfer of technology from a federal laboratory to a commercial application resulting in significant public good or economic impact. The FPTT Leadership in Technology Transfer Award recognizes outstanding skill in technology transfer or excellence in technology transfer management.

Please join Canada's pre-eminent scientists and technology transfer experts on June 18, 2009 at the Crowne Plaza Ottawa Hotel in Ottawa to recognize this year's award winners and celebrate 12 years of excellence in technology transfer.
