Milka Duno, Patrick, Simona de Silvestro and Ana Beatriz top the Google list of most popular racers, with Duno leading the pack at some 550,000 searches per month. Retired world champion Mario Andretti clocks in at fifth as the first man on the search rankings list.

[Indianapolis] (May, 2011) — TechPoint, Indiana’s economic development initiative focused on technology and entrepreneurship, recognized Slingshot SEO as one of the state’s high-tech success stories during its annual Mira Awards gala held at the JW Marriott in downtown Indianapolis. Now in its 12th year, the TechPoint Mira Awards highlight Indiana’s technology companies, institutions and individuals who are leading the state’s high-tech economy. The Mira Awards identify the most innovative and successful firms in information technology, as well as technology-focused companies in industries like advanced manufacturing and logistics, health and life sciences, and clean technology. “Gazelle” awards are given to fast-growing startup companies that have been in business for only a few years, as well as awards highlighting educators and institutions that help connect technology and learning.
“The startup environment and tech sector as a whole in Indiana is stronger than ever because our tech sector has developed a deep and interesting sense of innovation and entrepreneurship,” said Wil Davis, past chairman of TechPoint, who delivered opening remarks at this year’s Mira Awards. “We’re not just “doing pretty good for Indiana” anymore. We’ve kicked that “aw-shucks” mentality to the curb and planted our leadership flag on the global stage.”
This year, well over half of all companies participating in the Mira Awards are companies that didn’t even exist five years ago. According to TechPoint President and CEO Jim Jay, this is a real testament to the strength and resiliency of Indiana’s tech sector – that so many startups could not just survive, but to actually grow and thrive during the greatest global recession of our lifetimes.
A complete list of 2011 TechPoint Mira Awards winners is available at www.techpoint.org/mira.
