"This year's impressive list of winners demonstrates Europe's emergence as a major player in the global technology sector," said Red Herring Editor-in-Chief, Joel Dreyfuss. "The exceptional accomplishments of European technology companies and entrepreneurs are a testament to the rapid advancements being made in building the European innovation ecosystem."
Red Herring's lists of top private companies are an important part of the company's tradition of identifying new and innovative technology companies and entrepreneurs. Companies like Google, eBay and Skype were spotted in their early days by Red Herring editors, and touted as leaders that would change the way we live and work.
Red Herring's editorial staff rigorously evaluated several hundreds of private companies through a careful analysis of financial data and subjective criteria, including quality of management, execution of strategy, and dedication to research and development.
"Winning this prestigious award just two weeks after being named the most innovative player in the Nordic digital content arena by winning Telenor's Digital Winners Award 2008, is great acknowledgement of our work. It inspires us to continue our efforts to move boundaries by making useful tools for our customers and user friendly solutions to let consumers enjoy rich and rewarding mobile services," says Espen Askvik, CEO of Mobiletech.
To honor the CEOs of Red Herring top 100 Europe companies, Red Herring has invited each CEO to present his or her company at its Red Herring Europe 2008 event. Scheduled for April 14-16, at the Westin Dragonara Resort, this intimate, three-day event is themed "Ahead of the Curve" and will explore how European firms are leading the charge in many technology sectors, gaining the competitive advantage, and driving entrepreneurial success in ways that create business opportunities for challengers and incumbents alike.
