I’ve had trouble keeping this under my hat all day. In a few minutes, my partner and friend Howard Thaw will be on stage in Ottawa at the annual Canadian Technology Alliance gala to accept the 3M Canada Company Emerging Technology Award. iotum is one of 8 companies to be honored at the banquet award, and the winner in the emerging technology category.

In making the announcement, John Reid, CATA President said, “iotum exemplifies the highest standards for technical excellence, innovation and potential for an emerging technology company. iotum reverses the trend of growing complexity in our communications environment. The market potential for this innovation is tremendous.”

That’s a great endorsement. Thank you!
