The Queen's Award for Enterprise: Innovation (Technology) (1979)

The Queen's Award for Enterprise: Innovation (Technology) (1979) refers to an award conferred under the broader scheme of The Queen's Awards for Enterprise in the United Kingdom. Specifically, this iteration highlights recognition granted in the year 1979, within the category of Innovation, and specifically focusing on technological innovation.

The Queen's Awards for Enterprise, as a whole, are prestigious accolades presented to businesses and organizations demonstrating outstanding achievement in one or more of four categories: Innovation, International Trade, Sustainable Development, and Promoting Opportunity (through social mobility).

The Innovation category, within which the (Technology) sub-category falls, acknowledges businesses that have demonstrated commercially successful innovative products, services, or processes. The (Technology) designation indicates that the recognized innovation centered around a new or significantly improved technological development or application.

The year designation, in this case (1979), is crucial, as it specifies the year in which the award was conferred. Winners of the Queen's Award for Enterprise typically receive permission to use the Award emblem in their marketing materials for a period of five years. This allows them to publicize their achievement and leverage the recognition associated with the award.
