In my local region, spanning the borders of three states, there's an award that really piqued my interest years ago. Started by Shelburne Ferguson, the TechStar Award is a celebration of technology, innovation and - to a lesser degree - entrepreneurship and economic development.
Hosted by the Northeast Tennessee Technology Council (NETTC) the TechStar Awards have continued Shelburne's vision for almost a decade now, and continue to be a big draw for the NETTC to recruit members and showcase the opportunities in the region.
According to NETTC president Lewis Cox, award applications are available now.
"Do not forget to apply for your own TechStar Award by September 10th," said Cox, in an email announcing the awards banquet. "We know many of you have been making good use of technology, and this should be recognized and shared. To apply for an award, to be an exhibitor or sponsor, visit www.nettc.org."
