AeA's
High-Tech Innovation Awards shine a spotlight on Orange County as a
breeding ground of innovation and raise awareness that the United States
must vigorously protect its position as the world leader in science and
technology.

attendance. AeA Orange County received more than 100 nominations and
recognized
16 innovators. The sold-out dinner and awards ceremony drew more
than 500 luminaries from local high-tech companies, financial and
government institutions as well as academic leaders, educators,
