The most-promising technology ventures will be honored at the Venture
Market Europe 2006 Conference.
Red Herring announced that for the second consecutive year MarketXS has
been short-listed as one of the Finalists for its annual 'Red Herring 100 Europe' list.
Well over 700 privately held technology companies were evaluated for this
year's edition of the prestigious award, giving evidence to the
invigorated innovative and entrepreneurial strength of the technology
ecosystem.
The winners will be announced at the exclusive Venture Market Europe
Conference, May 8-10 in Paris, France, where the technology industry's
most-innovative CEOs, venture financiers, and corporate strategists will
gather to meet this next wave of disruptive companies.
'We are delighted to be selected again as a Finalist for the Red Herring
100 Europe.' says Jan De Roeck, Chief Executive Officer of MarketXS,
crediting technology leadership, discipline, passion, and a company-wide
entrepreneurial spirit for the sustained success.
'We can see the resurgence of the tech sector reflected in the quantity
and variety of excellent companies that we had to choose from in putting
our list together,' said Joel Dreyfuss, Editor-in-Chief of Red Herring.
'It was difficult to choose the Finalists and we are very happy with the
stellar quality of the companies on this short-list.'
The 'Red Herring 100 Europe' award is an important part of Red Herring's
tradition of recognizing new and innovative technology firms and their
entrepreneurial founders. MarketXS and the other nominees were rigidly
evaluated on both quantitative and qualitative criteria such as financial
performance, technology innovation, quality of management, execution of
strategy, and integration into their ecosystem. This unique assessment of
potential complemented by a review of the actual track record and
standing of a company 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.
