Black Engineer of the Year Awards (BEYA) conference enters its 22nd year with an eye on a global future. In February 2008, the conference which has stood as one of the best models of where corporate America creates strategic alliance with minority-owned businesses to increase productivity from underrepresented groups, will headline as the National BEYA Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math Global Competitiveness Conference.
"The Black Engineer of the Year Awards (BEYA) conference was developed as a solution to help corporate America identify, nurture and promote the careers of its black achievers," Career Communications Group publisher and CEO Tyrone Taborn says.
"As America renews focus on competitiveness, and much of today's press concentrates on what industry is doing in regards to becoming a player in a global economy, there has been a feeling that the name of the conference should more clearly define who and what we are, while maintaining ties to our history. We feel that this name accomplishes both, and are excited about our future as the National BEYA Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math Global Competitiveness Conference," he concluded.
A virtual spokesperson for black technology, BlackEngineer aspires to serve as leading news and information provider on the advancements in black technology with deep insights into black engineering, black entrepreneurs, black education, and historically black colleges and universities (HBCU). In fact, BlackEngineer is one of the very few to promote the achievements of black technology.

Black technology entrepreneurs are increasingly providing the horsepower that drives the global economy. Over the last two decades, black entrepreneurs have created more jobs, and contributed much more to the economic expansion of the Black community as a whole, than any black pastor or politician. Black entrepreneurs are taking risks and building businesses that generate economic growth and increase prosperity in underserved areas, as more minority-owned and minority-focused businesses emerge, willing to serve the financial needs of Black entrepreneurs. US Black Engineer & Information Technology magazine's annual list of Top Black Technology Entrepreneurs reflects the expanding scope of leading Black entrepreneurs in information technology, homeland security, and defense.
