ETC Names Finalists for Enterprise Awards

The Eastern Technology Council has named the finalists for its "Enterprise Awards" to be presented on December 3. There are 24 nominees in 8 categories covering technology and life sciences; as usual for Philly some of the technology nominees have a life sciences orientation and visa versa. In addition there are six nominees for "Company to Watch".
The December 3 awards ceremony is a "gala" event. I've never quite understood what gala means except that its usually pretty expensive.
