The GravityZoo Company selected as finalist for the Red Herring 100 Europe 2007 Awards
The Net’s Next Big Development Emerges Out of Europe
CANNES, France, March 26, 2007 – Red Herring today announced that The GravityZoo Company, the application-enabler for the Net of tomorrow, was named a Finalist of 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.
“Being selected as a Red Herring 100 finalist and given the special opportunity to present GravityZoo at Venture Market Europe conference is a great honor for our pioneering research and development,” said Marc Vrijhof, CEO of The GravityZoo Company. “GravityZoo represents a major step in the convergence of SaaS, SOA and Web 2.0. Essentially GravityZoo realizes the vision that the Network is the computer.”
“This year’s impressive list, and unprecedented number of submissions from companies 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 more than 700 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
Venture Market Europe (VME) 2007 event. Scheduled for March 25-27, at the Intercontinental
Carlton, this intimate, three-day event is themed “The Pursuit of Disruption”
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.
