Mind to Market Award 2009

Wise Device Inc. (WDI), along with its research partners from the University of Toronto, received the 2009 Mind to Market Award at Discovery 09 − OCE's annual conference, for its innovative technology that allows manufacturers to produce LCD screens for less. The breakthrough laser and optics technologies were brought together by matching WDI's expertise in defining the industry needs and potential markets with targeted research conducted at UofT's Institute for Optical Sciences and at the research facilities of UofT spin-off laser company, Attodyne Inc. This successful collaboration has resulted in WDI capturing the attention of major Asian manufacturers such as Samsung, LG and Sharp.
