Premier's Entrepreneurship Awards

Two hundred of PEI's leaders in the technology industry gathered recently to celebrate the many success stories in the IT industry over the past year. The evening was hosted by the Innovation and Technology Association of PEI (ITAP) from 7:00 - 9:30 pm in Memorial Hall, Confederation Centre of the Arts. MLA Valerie Docherty brought greetings from the Premier and the Government of PEI, and presented the two Premier's Entrepreneurship Awards. Mitch Cormier, of CBC Radio's 'Island Morning', was the MC for the awards dinner.
"Tonight was a celebration of the many successes we've seen in our Industry over the past year. As one of the four key industries identified by the Provincial Government in its economic development plan, we are seeing strong support from all levels of Government, from private industry, and from the community. The results have been showcased here tonight.' said Peter Lawlor, ITAP President. "The great stories we heard tonight indicate to me that the IT industry in Prince Edward Island has never been stronger, and the large number of young, up-and-coming organizations that were nominated also proves that the industry has a very bright future. What is also very encouraging is the fact that a large portion of these companies' revenues are coming from well beyond the borders of this Province. This is key to ensuring the long-term sustainability of the industry."
John Rowe, ITAP Vice President, presented the ITAP Lifetime Achievement Award to Ed Lawlor. "It was a great privilege to present Mr. Ed Lawlor with his ITAP Lifetime Achievement Award this evening. I have known Ed through the industry for many years, however, I did not realize the depth of his personal and public endeavours. Whether it be his commitment to family,entrepreneurialism, his Deltaware team, or the many, many organizations who have benefited from his involvement, Ed is a role model to me and all who know him."
