NECN: New England techs lead new fuel cell markets
The Connecticut Technology Council announced that FuelCell Energy Inc., of Danbury, Conn., has won the annual Innovation Excellence Award, presented at the Council’s annual meeting in North Haven, Conn. The Council also presented its Public Policy Leader of the Year Award to Joan McDonald, commissioner of the Connecticut State Department of Community and Economic Development, and its Volunteer of the Year Award to Beth Alquist, a partner at Day Pitney LLP.
The Innovation Excellence Award recognizes members of CTC who have led their respective industry, increased market share and been acknowledged by industry peers, analysts and trade groups. Founded in 1999, FuelCell Energy develops stationary fuel cell power plants that provide “ultra-clean power” for commercial and industrial use. The company has the largest fuel cell plant in the U.S., operated by Pepperidge Farm, FuelCell Energy officials said.
The Public Policy Leader of the Year Award winner, Joan McDonald, has “been willing to back and endorse the role of non-governmental groups such as the Council in helping to achieve State goals,” the Council said in a press release.
Beth Alquist, CTC’s Volunteer of the Year, co-chairs Day Pitney’s intellectual property department and also chairs the CTC’s Woman of Innovation Planning Committee. She has formerly served as chair of Day Pitney’s Women Working Together committee and Diversity committee.
