AMOG's Dr Hayden Marcollo and Professor Andrew Potts have been awarded the Australian Industrial Research Group (AIRG) Medal for Australasian Technological Innovation.

At a ceremony held last night (Tuesday 18th October), Dr Hayden Marcollo and Dr Bill Schofield (representing Professor Potts) were presented with the medals, awarded to AMOG Technologies Pty Ltd for the innovative LGS^® technology.

The AIRG Medal (a program that commenced in 2011) is designed to recognise Australasian Leaders, individuals or project teams for the achievement of widely recognised, outstanding industrial research and innovation contributions. A key award criterion of the AIRG Medal is the demonstration of the translation of the research outcome into a successful commercial contribution for the awardee company. It also recognises the important roles that both large and industrial companies and technology-oriented SMEs play in economic growth, from successful technological innovation that has market impact.
