Technology Leaders Of The Year Archive
Each December since
1993 IndustryWeek's Technology and Innovation Awards Program celebrates
the primary drivers of the world's economic progress -- innovators and

years ago that the mission of both organizations and societies should be to
accelerate the pace of innovation.
