    For two centuries, The Franklin Insitute has honored pioneering achievements in science, engineering, and industry. As the oldest comprehensive science awards program in the United States. The Franklin Insitute Awards celebrates Benjamin Franklin’s legacy by honoring the Franklins of today. Through their remarkable contributions, our laureates inspire the Franklins of tomorrow.

    The 2025 Benjamin Franklin Medal in Electrical Engineering is awarded to Kurt Petersen, Co-Chair at the HardTech Group of the Silicon Valley Band of Angels. This Symposium celebrates Kurt for his pioneering research and development of micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) technology – microscopic systems that merge mechanical and electrical functionality and which have wide ranging applications such as medical devices, inkjet printers, IoT, optical projectors, and automotive sensors.
