Technology Review

Technology Review magazine is published by Technology Review, Incorporated, a significant media company owned by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

It was STARTED in 1899, but was actually re-launched on April 23, 1998 under then publisher R. Bruce Journey. In 2005 it went through another change under the current editor in chief and publisher, Jason Pontin, to something again resembling the historical magazine.

Under Mr Journey, "MIT's Magazine of Innovation," placed an emphasis on new technology, tech products and how they get commercialised.

This exciting publication was mass-marketed to the general public and was also targeted at senior executives, researchers, financiers, and policymakers, as well as for the MIT alumni.

IndustryWeek's Technology and Innovation Awards

Every December since 1993 IndustryWeek's Technology and Innovation Awards Program celebrates the primary drivers of the world's economic progress -- innovators and technologies.

The awards are given in the spirit of Josef Schumpeter, the distinguished Harvard economist and social theorist who posited more than 50 years ago that the mission of both organizations and societies should be to accelerate the pace of innovation.
