October 18, 2005 This week the World Technology Network (WTN) announced the top individuals deemed the most innovative in the world of science and technology. Voted by their peers in 20 categories, such as biotechnology, ethics, entertainment and space, the top five individuals in each category have been named WTN Fellows. The WTN is a global meeting ground, a virtual think tank, and an elite club whose members are all focused on the business and science of bringing important emerging technologies of all types (from biotechnology to new materials, from IT to new energy sources) into reality. Read on for the list (with hyperlinks for easy browsing) of the best and brightest as voted by their peers.

The World Technology Awards honors individuals and corporations from 20 technology-related sectors viewed by their peers as being the most innovative and whose work has the greatest likelihood of long-term significance. Each year, one Corporate Member is eligible to be selected as the winner of their category, and will be announced at the World Technology Awards Gala dinner on November 15th, 2005, at San Francisco City Hall in San Francisco, California. The World Technology Awards is held in association with TIME magazine, CNN, and Science magazine among others. The Gala will conclude the two-day World Technology Summit.
