Drake Water Technologies, Inc., Selected by The Artemis Project (TM) as a 2011 Top 50 Water Company

The Artemis Project Top 50 Unveils 2011’s Most Innovative Water Technologies

Drake Water Technologies, Inc. http://www.DrakeWater.com , announced that it was selected by The Artemis Project(TM) as a Top 50 Water Companies Competition winner. Ron Drake, President and CEO, and Vivian Drake, COO, accepted the Artemis Project award at the 2011 Ontario Global Water Leadership Summit held in Toronto on May 17 and 18.

"The Artemis Top 50 is the water industry’s benchmark for recognizing innovation that will matter. It identifies the entrepreneurs that are applying technology to meet the world’s water challenges," noted Laura Shenkar, principal at The Artemis Project. "Water tech is quickly becoming an engine for economic development and job growth. With these awards, we strive to identify the companies offering the most promising technologies coming onto the market."

Ron Drake, Drake Water’s President and CEO, comments "As a small entrepreneurial company working in what is considered a "flyover" state, the Artemis Top 50 has given our water technology business exposure we would have never achieved through normal advertising. Also, as a small Montana business, we have a very small advertising budget and limited access to others in the "water space". Laura Shenkar and the Artemis Project have provided Drake Water with an unprecedented opportunity to bring our new technologies to the attention of potential clients, strategic partners, and capital investors. Through its stringent judging criteria by a panel of world class experts, the Artemis Project has afforded our IonFlo technology credibility that could not have been timely achieved in today’s business climate. The Artemis Project is truly a visionary endeavor, and our company is grateful for the exposure."
