NC TECH and Business North Carolina: Next Tech Award winners

NC TECH and Business North Carolina announce the winners of the Next Tech Awards, which celebrates the state’s rising tech stars. The 30 award winners are critical performers in the state’s tech and tech-enabled companies and hold job responsibilities ranging from innovation, to professional and marketing.

This is the second year NC TECH and Business North Carolina have collaborated in giving out these awards. The winners will be featured in the June edition of Business North Carolina, and receive their awards at a May 22 celebration at the Durham Convention Center as part of NC TECH’s State of Technology Exponential.
