Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill, NC (1888PressRelease) August 25, 2010 - Laura A. Schoppe, president of Fuentek, LLC (http://www.fuentek.com), has announced the release of a podcast providing information about the importance for technology transfer offices to apply for technology awards. In the podcast, Dr. Nannette Stangle-Castor, senior consultant and process director, discusses why new technologies should be submitted for awards and the positive results that can be achieved. Dr. Stangle-Castor explains how receiving an award can increase the value and importance of a technology, establish its industry leadership and help reach potential licensees or investors more easily. She also offers advice on how to apply for awards in an effective manner.

QUOTES:
"Awards are an external validation of the novelty and promise of your technologies, and they provide third party credibility," said Stangle-Castor. "Although applying for awards may seem time consuming and trivial, well-known technologies such as the fax machine, ATMs, HDTVs and halogen lamps received widespread public exposure through winning technology awards."
