Finland - FogScreen Inc has been chosen as a winner of the IST prize, which is awarded to European innovations with most business potential and technical excellence, among other things. The European IST Prize is organized by the European Council of Applied Sciences, Technologies and Engineering, with the sponsorship and support of the Information Society Technologies Programme of the European Commission.

FogScreen has been asked to participate in the IST event (held in The Hague from 15-17 November), where three IST Grand Prize Winners will be selected from among the IST Prize Winners. "We have taken part in three competitions: InnoSuomi, VentureCup, Laval Virtual Awards and IST Prize, and we have every time been chosen either as a winner or a finalist. That implies the ingenuity of our invention. Perhaps the biggest outcome of this prize may be increased possibility for funding from the Information Society Technologies Programme in the future. We have not applied for that funding yet," comments Mika Herpiƶ, CEO for FogScreen.

FogScreen is a patented, walk-through projection screen. With an interactivity add-on, it can be used for writing and drawing in the air.
