World Technology Award
The World Technology Awards are presented annually by the World Technology Network (The WTN) at its World Technology Summit to individuals and corporations achieving significant, lasting progress in categories pertaining to science, technology, the arts, and design. The first World Technology Summit and Awards took place on November 12, 1999, at the National Museum of Science and Industry in London, England.

The Awards are given in association with ''Time'', NASDAQ, ''Fortune'', AAAS, Science, NYAS, and ''The Technology Review''.
