The science and technology sectors within the MISTIC region are often referred to as the hidden industries as many people are not aware of the innovative entrepreneurs and businesses that are creating and developing cutting edge products and services.
The event brings these activities to the forefront and provides acknowledgment and gratitude to the diverse innovators for their determination, hard work and creativity.
