Global Security Challenge winner announced
Next generation night vision technology wins the Global Security Challenge
NoblePeak Vision was awarded a $500,000 grant sponsored by the US Government and mentorship with Paladin Capital Group for winning the second annual Global Security Challenge on 8 November 2007.
NoblePeak Vision from Massachusetts in the USA has developed a new generation of video surveillance camera cores and components with breakthrough night vision performance.
Speaking at the awarding ceremony, Sir Richard Dearlove, the former chief of the British Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) stated: “We are faced with complex new threats to society – and these are common to many different countries. We must also contend with the possibility that many new technologies have a dark side and may be used against us.
“The entrants in this year’s Global Security Challenge illustrate how technology should rather be used to enhance our collective security, and how the security interests of government and business more generally can benefit from this type of work at the cutting edge of scientific advancement,” Sir Dearlove said.
The Global Security Challenge was founded by MBA students at London Business School.
