CALGARY, Alberta, Nov. 02, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- GuildOne Inc. (GuildOne) is proud to announce that it has been selected as the 2018 winner of the ASTech award for Outstanding Achievement in Information and Communications Technology. “This award is a true honour,” said James Graham, GuildOne CEO and President. “It is a reflection of the pioneering multi-sectoral work being done in Alberta not just by the GuildOne team, but by our industry partners and invaluable organizations like ASTech, who recognize the need for - and benefits of - a robust multi-sectoral innovation ecosystem in Alberta.”
ASTech (Alberta Science and Technology Leadership Foundation) is a not-for-profit organization founded in 1989 through an industry initiative to showcase achievements in science and technology in Alberta and to promote the importance of these activities for social and economic benefit. The ASTech Awards celebrate innovation and excellence in Alberta and are the province’s most prestigious science and technology honours.
This award attests to the major potential of innovative technologies such as blockchain, smart contracts and machine learning to transform the oil and gas sector and many other industries. In February 2018, GuildOne announced a world-first proof-of-concept (PoC) oil and gas royalty transaction.
