The nominees for TechPoint’s 16th annual Mira Awards have been announced and several have Indiana University ties.

Presented by BKD CPAs & Advisors, these awards recognize the top companies and individuals involved in technology innovation statewide. The exposure and prestige offered by the Miras serves as a powerful springboard for Hoosier entrepreneurs. Past winners have reported securing $250,000 in new venture capital, signing $1 million in new business, closing a deal with a $1 billion customer, gaining national media exposure and even an invitation to the White House.

The nominees, which include 100 companies, schools and startups and 10 individuals, next will deliver presentations and field questions before an independent judging panel. The nominees were selected by more than 40 experts who evaluated and ranked the applications.
