Due to COVID-19, the 2020 ASTech Awards are cancelled.
An ASTech Award creates profile for individuals and companies at every stage of development:
- – Peer and sector recognition;
- – Visibility to a wider audience;
- – A morale boost for employees, investors, business partners and other stakeholders who are recognized for outstanding achievement;
- – Credibility enhancement that helps with financing, customer relationships and recruitment of top talent;
- – Profile and ongoing recognition through all ASTech communications platforms (newsletter, website, social media);
- – Profile when ASTech stakeholders pick up and promote the story of the award winner and underlying activity;
- – Presenting work/achievements to a broader audience year-round through the Alumni Speaker’s Bureau.
Listen to Dr. Mohamed Elhabiby discuss the value of winning an ASTech Award. His company Micro Engineering Tech Inc. received the 2015 Outstanding Achievement in Applied Technology award, sponsored by SAIT.
GrowSafe Systems won a sponsored award in 2012 that came with a $10,000 cash prize.
