Computer Resource Team's Technology SkillBuilder Award: Appomattox Regional Governor's School. Serving 14 school districts and 330 students, the Petersburg school's tech department exposes students to computer programming, engineering concepts, processes and theories. The council said the program encourages gifted students to pursue a post-secondary tech-related education.

Cherry Bekaert & Holland's Emerging Company Award: EverDrive LLC. The company's technology links auto parts junkyards to four of the nation's largest automotive aftermarket retailers. Dealers can buy used instead of new parts.

Strategic Staffing Solutions' IT Builders Award: IndigeTech. Its performance dashboards are used by executives to monitor company performance.

SmartBox Portable Storage's Community Support Award: Dominion Foundation. The organization has streamlined access to community services for older adults and those with physical disabilities, the council said.

Qimonda's (formerly Infineon Technologies') Technology Innovation Award: Intelliject LLC. The biotechnology firm has developed and patented a credit-card size, wallet-thick device that can inject drugs into the body. The device could be used for treating patients who suffer from severe allergies and pain or protect against nuclear and bioweapons.

IBM's Leadership Award: Robert J. Mattauch, dean and professor at the Virginia Commonwealth University School of Engineering. The council said that under Mattauch's leadership, the school has grown to include five departments, with enrollment of roughly 1,000 undergraduate and 200 grad students. In its seven-year history, the school has awarded more than 800 engineering and computer-science degrees, and nearly eight out of 10 stay in Virginia to work.
