Ottawa, Ontario—February 21, 2013—The Exploriem Entrepreneur Network awarded NorDocs Technologies the bronze award for Innovation in Engineering and Technology at the Bootstrap Awards 2013.

“It is an honour to receive this award,” said NorDocs CEO Stanley Shapiro, MD. “At NorDocs we have built a creative and productive environment. Our focus is on developing a workplace that is challenging and fun.”

The Exploriem Bootstap Award for Innovation and Engineering goes to companies that apply scientific and engineering expertise to solve an everyday problem with a self-invented solution. NorDocs was nominated for the prize by the Ontario Centres of Excellence (OCE) and the Industrial Research Assistance Program (IRAP) run by the National Research Council Canada.
