Recognized for game-changing technology and positive impact on public sector

WATERLOO, ONTARIO – Aeryon Labs Inc, maker of the Aeryon Scout micro unmanned aerial intelligence platform, today announced that it has been chosen by AlwaysOn as one of the OnDC Top 100 Winners. Inclusion in the OnDC 100 signifies major developments in the creation of new business opportunities that contribute to the renewed and continued prosperity of our country. Aeryon Labs was specially selected by the AlwaysOn editorial team and industry experts spanning the globe based on a set of five criteria: innovation, market potential, commercialization, stakeholder value, and media buzz.

Aeryon Labs and the OnDC Top 100 Companies will be honored at AlwaysOn’s OnDC event on October 19th-21st at the Four Seasons Hotel in Washington DC. This two-and-a-half-day executive event features CEO presentations and high-level debates on sectors most impacted by the federal government including greentech, on-demand computing and IT security, education, and the life sciences.

“It’s no secret that technology and innovation are vital to bringing our country out of economic recession and transforming important sectors like energy and healthcare,” said Tony Perkins,founder and CEO of AlwaysOn. “We congratulate the OnDC 100 for their success in introducing new tools, services, and systems to address the nation’s top priorities.” The OnDC 100 winners were selected from among hundreds of other technology companies nominated by investors, bankers, journalists and industry insiders. The AlwaysOn editorial team conducted a rigorous three-month selection process to finalize the 2009 list.

Aeryon Labs, a Waterloo Ontario-based company, was selected to the list for their innovative work on the Aeryon Scout, a hovering, unmanned flying vehicle that records digital images and video for a range of security and surveillance applications. Its innovative control interface allows untrained operators to use the system in a matter of minutes, a crucial requirement for mass deployment in military and police applications.
