One of the most prestigious startup awards in the world is the World Economic Forum Technology Pioneers Program. Winners are chosen by a group of global technolology experts. Just to be nominated is an achievement, and this year 26 companies were selected from over 300 applications and nominations.

Past Tech Pioneers include 23andme (2008), Amyris Biotechnologies (2006), Dr Reddy Laboratories (2001), Google (2001), Gridpoint (2008), Kaspersky Lab (2001), Mozilla Corporation (2007), Nanosolar (2007), Recyclebank (2009) and Silver Spring Networks (2008).

The 2010 WEF Tech Pioneers: Amiando, Amobee, Aura Biosciences, BioFuelBox, Bloom Energy Corporation, Boston-Power, Care Electric Energia, CollabNet, Corventis, Dilithium Networks, Epuramat, eSolar, Innovid, Lehigh Technologies, Metabolix, MicroCHIPS, Obopay, Pacific Biosciences, Playfish, Proteon Therapeutics, RingCentral, Serious Materials, StreamBase, Twitter, Ushahidi and VNL.

Eighteen of the 26 companies are from the US. The remaining eight from Brazil, Germany, India, Israel, Luxembourg and the United Kingdom.

To be selected, a company must be “nvolved in the development of a life-changing technology innovation and have the potential for long-term impact on business and society.” The companies must also “demonstrate visionary leadership and show all the signs of a long-standing and sustainable market leader.”

The winners are invited to attend the WEF annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland in January and rub elbows with world political and business leaders. Here’s our coverage of last year’s winners, which included Mint, Brightcove, Etsy, Mojix and Slide.
