Record 170 Applicants for TechPoint’s 15th Annual Mira Awards

By Claire Dalton, PR & Social Media Specialist

TechPoint’s 15th annual Mira Awards received a 40 percent increase in applicants than any previous records. TechPoint President and CEO Mike Langellier said that the dramatic increase is another positive indicator of the strength and momentum of Indiana’s tech sector. 

“The tech sector has been building some serious momentum, especially over the past five years with 12 homegrown companies being acquired or going public, creating $4.5 billion in market cap and thousands of new jobs,” Langellier said. “The Mira Awards exist to validate, celebrate and evangelize these successes and many more. It’s truly the biggest stage for tech in Indiana, and the community is responding to the tremendous media exposure – both locally and nationally – and valuable brand equity gained by participating.”

More than 40 independent subject matter experts, who serve as judges, are in the process of evaluating and scoring the 170 applications.Nominees will be announced later this month.
