1997 Technologies Of The Year

Each December since 1993 IndustryWeek's Technology and Innovation Awards Program celebrates the primary drivers of the world's economic progress -- innovators and technologies. The awards are given in the spirit of Josef Schumpeter, the distinguished Harvard economist and social theorist who posited more than 50 years ago that the mission of both organizations and societies should be to accelerate the pace of innovation.
