Shaw Technologies

Established in 2000, Shaw Technologies are based in Dunfermline, Scotland.

We provide bespoke water engineering solutions from ultra pure water systems, disinfection and safety systems to dosing packages for a wide variety of organisations where drinking water quality is core to their business.

In 2005 the company focused their R&D activities on developing solutions to detect parasitical organisms in public water. These activities have resulted in the development of an automated Cryptosporidium monitoring system.

Since 2005, Shaw Technologies have won several prestigious awards including a 2006 Scottish Executive SMART Award, 2008 John Logie Baird Award for Innovation and the prestigious Rushlight Water Innovation Award.

The John Logie Baird Award 2008

The John Logie Baird Awards for innovation are designed to recognise and celebrate innovation by encouraging the commercial exploitation of Scotland's intellectual capital.

The opportunity to compete for these national awards is unique. It offers a comprehensive and integrated package of support to all applicants at every stage of the selection process rather than simply rewarding the winners.

Awards packages valued at approximately £20,000 are presented annually consisting of a cash prize as well as a bespoke innovation development package.

The Rushlight Awards

The inaugural Rushlight Awards were attended by investors, city advisers, trade associations, government departments, companies and organisations which are leading the way in ‘clean technology’.

The Rushlight Awards are a celebration and promotion of the leading organisations throughout the UK and Ireland which have furthered environmental technology and innovation in the fields of renewable energy, clean fuels, power generation, water, waste and pollution management.  The event has created a community whose main purpose is to assist in the development of cleantech and in the improvement of environmental standards.  This community is made up of the headline partners and sponsors, namely the Institute of Physics, Welsh Power, Kilburn & Strode, Black & Veatch, Cleantech Magazine and Clarity Authoring, over 60 supporting partners, 22 media partners, judges and special guests who together form a resource and a platform of unsurpassed cleantech expertise.
