York Technology Alliance Reveals Nominees for Technology Leadership Awards

York Technology AwardsOf thousands of tech companies throughout the GTA, how do you select nine to profile as leaders in the sector? The YTA Technology Leadership Awards Selection Committee has managed just that, narrowing the field to three nominees in each of the categories: Most Promising Start-up, Scale-up Company of the Year, and Company of the Year.    

“We are very pleased to announce the nominees for the 2012 YTA Technology Leadership Awards,” said Patrick Shaw, YTA Executive Director. “These are exciting, innovative, growing companies creating outstanding successes in one of the most enterprising technology regions of the world. We look forward to profiling our nominees, and welcoming the award recipients to reveal a few of the secrets. In three short years the Awards have become a YTA Marquee Event – and we thank MNP for generously supporting this celebration throughout that period.

On Thursday, May 24, the leaders of these nominee companies will be recognized during the YTA Awards Luncheon at the Richmond Hill Country Club. One executive from each award recipient will join in a panel discussion to reveal some of the ingredients that they have used in their own recipe for success.

Nominations from throughout the GTA we sought for each category. News releases, web posting, blogging and social media generated a richness of responses and nominees were vetted by the YTA Awards Committee including representatives from MNP, Miller Thomson LLP, ventureLAB and the YTA staff to determine the unanimous selection of the recipients.
