Winners 2016 Red Herring Top 100 Europe
agile42 has been chosen as a 2016 Red Herring Top 100 Europe Winner, a prestigious list honoring the year’s most promising private technology ventures from the European business region.
On April 13 we presented the company at the Red Herring Top 100 Europe Forum in Amsterdam that celebrates the top private companies in the European region, and as part of the finalists we are given the opportunity to make a live presentation in front of the 250 C-level technology entrepreneurs, corporate strategists, and venture financiers from across the continent that Red Herring gathers in their forum.
Red Herring Top 100 Europe enlists outstanding entrepreneurs and promising companies. It selects the award winners from approximately 1,200 privately financed companies each year in the European Region. Since 1996, Red Herring has kept tabs on these up-and-comers. Red Herring’s Top 100 list has become a mark of distinction for identifying promising new companies and entrepreneurs. Red Herring’s editors were among the first to recognize that companies such as Alibaba, Facebook, Google, Kakao, Skype, SuperCell, Spotify, Twitter, and YouTube would change the way we live and work. Thousands of the companies most interesting and innovative companies have graced the Top 100 list over the years.
“In 2016, selecting the top achievers was by no means a small feat,” said Alex Vieux, publisher and CEO of Red Herring. “In fact, we had the toughest time in years because so many entrepreneurs had crossed significant milestones so early. But after much thought, rigorous contemplation and discussion, we narrowed our list down from hundreds of candidates from across Europe to the Top 100 Winners. We believe agile42 embodies the vision, drive and innovation that define a successful entrepreneurial venture. agile42 should be proud of its accomplishment, as the competition was very strong.”
During the months leading up to the announcement, Red Herring reviewed over 1200 companies in the telecommunications, security, cloud, software, hardware, biotech, mobile and other industries completed their submissions to qualify for the award. We are very happy that agile42 approach and business direction has been positively evaluated.
