AM Technology won the innovation prize in the category 'Energy and Environment' at the UK NanoForum & Emerging Technologies 2009 conference at the London Hilton in Park Lane. The prize was awarded for AM Technology's new Coflore flow reactor.
The two-day event, which has drawn more than 450 delegates from the UK and overseas, was hosted by the Nanotechnology Knowledge Transfer Network (NanoKTN) and UK Trade & Investment (UKTI) in the London Hilton on Park Lane.
Lord Davies of Abersoch, the Minister for Trade, Investment and Small Business commented:
"Here in the UK we have a truly first-class record of innovation. The country’s most forward-thinking companies are helping to shape the future and secure our future prosperity. I am determined that the UK should remain a world leader in innovation. With the support of UK Trade & Investment, this event provides a platform for trailblazers who want to take their business to the world."
Baroness Valentine, Chief Executive of London First, who presented the awards, added:
“I congratulate the winners on their success. London is home to more of the world's top universities than any other city. The UK as a whole has four of the world's top six, and they typically spin out around 200 companies a year. Whilst London is best defined as a global talent hub, it can also be described as the world's largest science park, with financial and legal advice close at hand."
