MITX's 7th Annual Technology Awards on Wednesday, June 2nd were full of insightful innovation and ardent acceptance speeches. Opened by MITX President, Kiki Mills, the ceremony kicked off Innovation Month by recognizing over 50 finalists and 17 winnersfor innovative business technologies developed in the New England area.

We took a few minutes to speak with some of our gracious winners. You can see what they had to say in the brief clips below.

You can check out the full lists of finalists and winners on our website. We'd like to extend our congratulations and accolades again to those who participated in this event, as the Technology Awards are a proponent of positioning New England as the hub of innovation and technology in the online business and media industries.

The show also recognized two of Boston's key visionaries in the technology industry, Jeremy Allaire, inductee of the Innovation Hall of Fame, and Bill Bulkeley, Lifetime Achievement Award recipient. Both men reflected on the ever-growing nature of the tech industry, their successful careers as luminaries, and especially the enabling entrepreneurial environment of Boston. MITX Future Leader Group member Matt Lauzon, Founder & CEO of Gemvara - a winner of 2 awards - also shared these sentiments, as he noted the energetic ecosystem of the region that is perpetuating such things as Innovation Month and the execution of inventive startups like his own.

Full of heartfelt speeches and new technologies, the 2010 Technology Awards continued MITX's tradition of lauding the companies and individuals in New England that represent the energy, insight, and passion of What's Next.

I have to admit to being partial to Bill and Jeremy's speeches. Jeremy's in particular was a big love letter to the Boston innovation economy -- a total feel good night. What an awards event should be!
