The Tech Museum of Innovation ( http://www.thetech.org/ ) Awards program is an international awards program that honors innovators from around the world who are applying technology to benefit humanity. Each year candidates are nominated and then invited to submit applications. Individuals, for-profit companies, and not-for- profit organizations are eligible. International panels of judges review the applications and annually select twenty-five laureates. Awards are presented in five categories: Health, Education, Environment, Economic Development, and Equality. Five laureates in each category are honored, with one laureate per category receiving $50,000. Laureates are honored at an annual gala event and inducted into the Tech Laureate Venture Network. TLVN is the extension of the awards from an annual event to a year-round program. The goal of the TLVN is to create opportunities for learning, networking, and exposure to assist the laureates in furthering their work. Nominations and applications are evaluated according to the following criteria: the application significantly improves the human condition in one of the five award areas; a serious problem or challenge with global significance is addressed by the use of technology; the application of the technology, which may be either a new invention or an innovative use of an existing technology, makes a noteworthy contribution that surpasses previous or current solutions; the technology application has the potential to serve as an inspiration or model for further innovation; and the tech- nology application is in the field and has demonstrated a measur- able benefit.
