Red Herring today announced that alaTest.com has been selected as finalist for the Red Herring 100 Europe, an award given to the top 100 private technology companies based in the EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) region each year.
“This year’s impressive list of submissions from companies demonstrates Europe’s growing role as a major center of innovation in the global technology sector,” said Red Herring Editor-in-Chief Joel Dreyfuss. “The exceptional accomplishments of European technology startups and entrepreneurs are a testament to the rapid advancements being made in building the European innovation ecosystem.”
" alaTest™ is honored to be following in the footsteps of role models such as Google, eBay, and Skype, who are past winners of the award and changed the way we live, work and communicate,” said Arie Struik, CEO and founder. “This is an exciting development for alaTest™. We are pleased to have Red Herring recognize us as one of the top start-up companies."
Red Herring’s editorial staff has evaluated several hundred 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.
Red Herring will honor the Red Herring 100 Europe Finalist companies at its Red Herring Europe 2008 event scheduled for April 14-16.
