The Red
Herring editorial team selected the most innovative companies from a pool of
1,200. The nominees are evaluated on both quantitative and qualitative
criteria, such as financial performance, technology innovation, quality of
management, execution of strategy, and integration into their respective
industries.
This
unique assessment of potential is complemented by a review of the actual track
record and standing of a company, which allows Red Herring to see past the
“buzz” and make the list an invaluable instrument for discovering and
advocating the greatest business opportunities in the industry.
"This
year was especially difficult," said Alex Vieux, publisher and CEO of Red
Herring. "Despite the global economic situation, there were many great
companies producing really innovative and amazing products that we had a
difficult time narrowing the pool and selecting the finalists. Now we’re faced with the arduous task of
selecting the final 100 winners of the award. We know that this year’s crop
will grow into some amazing companies that are sure to go far."
Finalists
for the 2009 edition of the Red Herring Global 100 award are selected from the
regional recipients or finalists of the Red Herring 100 awards in 2007, 2008,
or 2009 ranging from Asia, Europe, and North America. For the past three years,
the award has been given to the top 100 global technology companies based upon
their technological innovation, management strength, market size, investor
record, customer acquisition, and financial health. During the several months
leading up to the announcement, hundreds of companies in the
telecommunications, security, Web 2.0, software, hardware, biotech, and clean
tech industries sent in their submissions to qualify for the award.
The CEOs
of the 200 finalists are invited to present their winning strategies at the Red
Herring Global Conference in
