SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

National Medal of Technology is the

highest honor awarded by the President

of the United States to America’s

leading innovators. Enacted by Congress

in 1980, the Medal of Technology was

first awarded in 1985. The Medal is

given annually to individuals, teams, or

companies for accomplishments in the

innovation, development,

commercialization, and management of

technology, as evidenced by the

establishment of new or significantly

improved products, processes, or

services.

The primary purpose of the National

Medal of Technology is to recognize

technological innovators who have

made lasting contributions to enhancing

America’s competitiveness and standard

of living. The Medal highlights the

national importance of fostering

technological innovation based upon

solid science, resulting in commercially

successful products and services.

The Selection Process

A distinguished, independent

committee evaluates the merits of all

candidates nominated through an open,

competitive solicitation process. The

U.S. Department of Commerce’s

Technology Administration agency is

responsible for administrating the

National Medal of Technology.

Committee recommendations are

forwarded to the Secretary of Commerce

who then makes recommendations to

the President for final decision.

The Awards Ceremony and Events

Each year the President in a joint

White House ceremony with the

National Medal of Science presents the

National Medal of Technology awards.

(The National Science Foundation

administers the National Medal of

Science award program.) The Medal

laureates are celebrated at a dinner gala

hosted by the National Science and

Technology Medals Foundation along

with other events planned around the

White House ceremony. We invite you

to look at our web site (www.ta.doc.gov/

medal) for the historical archives,

including photos and videos of the most

recent laureates, and a listing of the 131

winners who have received this

prestigious medal. The Medal winners

serve as ambassadors to the next

generation of technologists.
