Last night in front of a packed crowd at the Westin Waterfront, MITX recognized some of Boston’s finest companies for their hard work and determination as being top innovators in this city. As you recall new this year MITX has re-branded their popular Technology Awards to encompass all innovation here in Boston — not just in technology — to the MITX Innovation Awards. With award categories like Best “Doing Good” Innovation, Best Bootstrapped Start-Up, Innovative Business Model and Angel of the Year, MITX is recognizing the best and brightest in all of New England whether you are high tech or not.
Complete with a live band, open bar and creative noodle bar the MITX awards were a great social gathering in addition to an award show. Among the winners listed below, Gail Goodman CEO of Constant Contact was inducted into the MITX Innovation Hall of Fame.
