The program honors individuals, non-profit organizations, and for-profit companies who are using technology to confront humanity’s most urgent challenges in five award categories. The technology can be a new invention or an innovative use of an existing technology. Independent judging panels select ten laureates from among hundreds of applicants worldwide in the categories of Environment, Education, Young Innovator, Health, and Economic Development. Since the inception of The Tech Awards program in 2001, we have honored 277 laureates and 11 Global Humanitarians. This year, the James C. Morgan Global Humanitarian Award will be presented to Ted Turner. Each November, The Tech brings the new laureates to Silicon Valley, where they are given access to resources and mentoring to aid them in scaling their organizations’ impact. During The Tech Awards Convergence, the laureates experience five days of intensive activities designed to connect them to Silicon Valley networking, funding, and media opportunities. The honorees become part of our global community, meeting past laureates who share their experience and wisdom. The week culminates in The Tech Awards Gala, where 1,400 attendees and online viewers celebrate the laureates. Unrestricted cash awards of $25,000 and $75,000 are presented in each category; $4.35 million has been awarded since 2001. Applications for 2015 #TheTechAwards 7 Know of a worthy project?
