For 22 years, the Shenandoah Valley Technology Council has recog- nized and awarded the achievements of local, technology-focused busi- nesses, programs and initiatives. Innovations are recognized in 8 cate- gories: Emerging Business, Community Impact, K-12 Education, Higher Education, Development, Utilization, Leadership and People’s Choice. In Spring 2022, A.G. was nominated for the Innovation in Utilization category as a result of their new digital twin assets and solutions, released Fall 2021.
