Marport Canada Inc. has announced that the Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters in partnership with National Research Council Canada has named Marport as Winner of the 2009 Award for Innovative Excellence in New Technology for the Atlantic/Nunavut Region.
The award recognises innovation excellence in the development and application of new technologies. Marport was selected as a result of its underwater robotics technology – particularly its Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (UUV) program.
Karl Kenny, Marport President & CEO said, “It’s a real honour for us to win this award, especially for our people who work so hard to design, develop and deliver increasingly innovative solutions for our customers.”
In five regions across Canada, one award winner and two finalists are selected and recognised for their outstanding achievements. One of the five Regional Award recipients will also be selected to receive the prestigious 2009/2010 CME National Innovation Award for New Technology, which will be presented at the CME Awards Gala Ceremony in Ottawa, Ontario in February 2010.
