S.P.R.I. Industrial Technology Award

The S.P.R.I. Industrial Technology Award was instituted in 1998 for the purpose of promoting technology in sugar processing and production. It was offered biennially to one outstanding individual whose contribution to the industry in the development of technology, or implementation of technology, was distinguished by its originality and the resulting benefit to the industry.

The SPRI Industrial Technology Award was discontinued in 2002, when it was combined with the SPRI Science Award to create the S.P.R.I. Science and Technology Award.

The award consists of a cash honorarium, a plaque and reasonable travel expenses to the recipient.
