Congratulations to the 2009 Tekne Award recipients and scholarship winners! Last Thursday, Reside was a proud platinum sponsor of the Minnesota High Tech Association’s (MHTA) Tekne Awards. Don Mink, Reside’s Practice Director of Technical Services, did a great job presenting an award category, while the ceremony’s MC, John Sweeney of Brave New Workshop, provided comic relief throughout the night. The awards show brought Minnesota’s business, technology and political leaders together on this special evening to celebrate technology innovation in Minnesota. It was amazing to see the innovative solutions these deserving finalists have established within their companies. Among the companies at the ceremony, a few of the winners include:

VAST Enterprises, based in Minneapolis, won the cleantech award, Ecolab won the green category award, and Starkey Laboratories Inc. won a medical technology award for their new S2 line of hearing aids.
