INDIANAPOLIS — Cummins was among the winners at the 20th annual Mira Awards gala in which TechPoint, the nonprofit, industry-led growth accelerator for Indiana’s tech ecosystem, honored the successes and innovation of Indiana people, companies, places and products.
The Mira Awards — Indiana’s largest and longest running technology awards program — celebrated 14 award winners and honorees chosen from 109 nominees this year.
A sold-out crowd of 1,400 — the largest Mira Awards in the program’s 20-year history — attended Saturday’s event at the JW Marriott in Indianapolis, presented by Angie’s List, Infosys and Salesforce.
Cummins was honored as Large Enterprise of the Year. The company was honored for having one of the largest global tech operations headquartered in Indiana.
“The Mira Awards judges were particularly impressed by Cummins’ focus and dedication to developing and implementing data-enabled services through the Digital Accelerator team that have led to numerous new products, including the Cummins self-healing engine. Outside of the company’s obvious successful financial performance, it’s Cummins’ commitment to community improvement and diversity and inclusion at all of its global locations that leaves a lasting impression,” TechPoint said in a news release.
Fifty-two independent, volunteer judges spent more than 850 total hours evaluating applications, interviewing nominees and selecting this year’s winners. Judges included company founders, CEOs and presidents, CTOs, CIOs, and other subject matter experts.
