Angstrom Power Selected by AlwaysOn as a GoingGreen Top 100 Winner
North Vancouver, Canada, September 9th, 2008 – Angstrom Power, Inc., a developer of micro fuel cell technology for hand-held electronics devices today announced that it has been chosen by AlwaysOn as one of the GoingGreen Top 100 Winners. Inclusion in the GoingGreen 100 signifies major developments in the creation of new business opportunities in the green technology industries. Angstrom Power was specially selected by the AlwaysOn editorial team and other industry experts spanning the globe, based on a set of five criteria: innovation, market potential, commercialization, stakeholder value, and media buzz.
“We are honored to be named to the 2008 GoingGreen 100 list,” said Paul Zimmerman, CEO of Angstrom Power.
“In January, at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, we announced Angstrom’s integration of its Micro Hydrogen™ power platform into a MOTOSLVR L7 handset without any modifications to the phone’s external dimensions and completed a six-month trial of the handsets,” Zimmerman said. “This first-of-its-kind integration of a fuel cell into mobile phones represents a significant milestone for fuel cell technologies.” He noted that the GoingGreen 100 award is the second major recognition of Angstrom’s Micro Hydrogen™ technology this year. In June, Frost & Sullivan named Angstrom Power winner of its 2008 North American Technology Innovation of the Year Award in the field of micro fuel cells.
Angstrom is designing the next generation of safe, mobile power for tomorrow’s multipurpose handheld electronics. The company is currently collaborating with world-leading battery manufacturers, portable electronic device makers and mobile service providers towards the commercialization of its Micro Hydrogen™ technology.
Angstrom Power and the rest of the GoingGreen Top 100 Companies will be honored at GoingGreen 2008, scheduled to occur on September 15-17, 2008 at Cavallo Point in Sausalito, CA. “The GoingGreen Top 100 winners have excelled in key strategic areas in the global clean energy technology markets,” said Tony Perkins, founder and CEO of AlwaysOn. “We congratulate them for their success in introducing new tools, services, and systems that are driving the next phase of greentech innovation and transforming the biggest industries on earth.” A full list of all the GoingGreen Top 100 Winners was published on the AlwaysOn Web site on September 4th at http://alwayson.goingon.com/permalink/post/28868
