Impact Awards
I was at the BC Technology Impact Awards ceremony last week representing my company Zymeworks. Zymeworks was nominated for the most promising pre-commercial technology company, but unfortunately we didn’t win. The award in this category went to Lignol Energy Corp., a clean tech company.
The organizers had tiled one wall of the Banquet Hall with a 100 feet screen. They had calibrated multiple projectors to blend the edges. Pretty impressive. You can get this technology from a couple of companies: here’s one.
Abebooks.com, an online market for new and used books also won an award. I’ve been using this website for the past couple of years to get used textbooks. Highly recommended.
John MacDonald, the founder of MDA (the ‘M’ in MDA) and of Day4Energy Inc. got the Person of the Year award. It’s truly an honor to be in the same room with the accomplished!
