The company was selected to win the $50,000 prize over 84
other young Florida companies for the innovation and market potential of its
technology
Orlando, Fla., May 20, 2015 -- EVERIX, a design and
manufacturing firm for high-performance interference optical filters, today
announced that it has won the 2015 Annual Cade Museum Prize. The Cade Museum
for Creativity and Invention's annual competition is for early-stage inventors
and entrepreneurs in Florida with ideas that demonstrate innovation, large
potential impact in the world, and market credibility. EVERIX was selected the
winner after the four finalists gave presentations to the audience at the
inaugural Inventivity Bash and a panel of judges reviewed the inventions and
business plans vying for the $50,000 award.
The Community Foundation of North Central Florida provided
the cash award, while the Florida-based law firm of Lowndes, Drosdick, Doster,
Kantor & Reed, P.A. offered $10,000 in in-kind legal services.
"Winning this serious cash prize could enable us to
achieve some of our key business milestones at a faster pace, but even more
valuable to us were the comments and feedback from the Cade Museum’s seasoned
panel of judges" said E. Hooman Banaei, the Founder and CEO of EVERIX.
"The judges were among the best, a great mix of business leaders and
technologists. Winning this tight competition gave us the confidence that our
company is on track with a game-changing technology," he added.
EVERIX recently launched its unique flexible ultra-thin
optical filters with scratch-insensitive performance and easy custom-shaping
for OEM customers requiring volume consistency across a multitude of industries.
The company has already received inquiries from several industries, including
medical imaging for early cancer detection, defense and safety equipment
manufacturers.
