CIMCON Software Inc., the world’s leading provider of intelligent streetlight management solutions for traditional, LED and Solar-based LED lights, today announced that the Middle East Electricity Awards has selected CIMCON Software as the recipient of its 2012 “Best Innovation or Technology of the Year Award” for its LightingGale streetlight management system.

Presented before an international audience of Power industry experts, policy makers and media at the Dubai World Trade Center, the “Best Innovation or Technology of the Year Award” was established to recognize companies that have made a significant contribution to the growth and development of the Power Industry. Judged by a globally recognized panel of Power and Renewable Energy experts, award candidates were assessed on the following criteria: the creativity of their innovation and whether it represents a clear “break” with previously established methods or processes; is the innovation cost effective and sustainable; and is the innovation likely to establish itself as standard industry practice within five years.
