Award Recognizes the Role of Flash Memory
Technology in Today’s World
SanDisk Corporation (NASDAQ:SNDK), a global leader in flash
storage solutions, today announced that the company has been
honored with the 2015 IEEE Corporate Innovation Award for
pioneering innovation, development, and deployment of Flash Memory
Technology, which has profoundly changed the world.
IEEE is the world's largest professional association dedicated
to advancing technology for humanity. The Corporate Innovation
Award was established to recognize outstanding innovation by
organizations across the world and recipients are honored for their
resolve to discover, extend, or complement technological
advancements in education, industry, research, and service.
“From the beginning, we knew that flash memory technology had
the potential to be used in a broad range of applications,” said
Sanjay Mehrotra, co-founder, president and chief executive officer
at SanDisk. “However, we didn’t realize just how big it could be.
Today it is an enabling technology that is used around the world –
from mobile phones and laptop computers to enterprise data centers.
It has taken years of pioneering work and perseverance to make this
a reality. On behalf of all our employees and valued partners at
SanDisk, it is an honor to receive the prestigious recognition for
our work.”
Since SanDisk’s founding in 1988, the company has been focused
on advancing flash memory technology, and that dedication has
enabled new markets and devices that people use everyday — from
digital photography to USB drives to smartphones, wearables,
tablets and thin-and-light notebooks. Today, SanDisk is also
bringing flash memory to enterprise storage and transforming the
data center.
SanDisk has a long history of technology innovation. Last
November, SanDisk’s co-founder and retired CEO, Dr. Eli Harari,
received the National Medal of Technology and Innovation – the
United States’ highest honor for scientific achievement.
SanDisk will receive the 2015 IEEE Corporate Innovation Award at
the IEEE Honors Ceremony on June 20th, which is being held at the
Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City.
