Monitise Americas join prestigious list of global innovative technology companies
PROVIDENCE, R.I.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Monitise Americas, a leader in mobile money solutions, announced today it has been selected as a Winner of Red Herring's Global 100 award in recognition of the leading private companies from North America, Europe, and Asia, celebrating these organizations’ innovations and technologies across their respective industries.
Red Herring’s Global 100 list has become a mark of distinction for identifying promising new companies and entrepreneurs. Red Herring editors were among the first to recognize that companies such as Google, Skype, Netscape, Salesforce.com, YouTube, eBay and many others would change the way we live and work.
“Choosing the best out of the previous three years was by no means a small feat,” said Alex Vieux, Chairman of Red Herring. “After rigorous contemplation and discussion, we narrowed down our list from 1,200 potential companies to 200 finalists. Trying to get it down to 100 companies was a task upon itself. Monitise Americas should be extremely proud of its achievement, the competition was difficult.”
Red Herring’s editorial staff evaluated the companies on both quantitative and qualitative criteria, such as financial performance, technology innovation, management quality, strategy, and market penetration. This assessment of potential is complemented by a review of the track record and standing of startups relative to their sector peers, allowing Red Herring to see past the “buzz” and make the list an invaluable instrument of discovery and advocacy for the greatest business opportunities from around the world.
“Red Herring is an industry standard in championing the most promising private ventures from around the world.” said Soren Bested, managing director of Monitise Americas. “Monitise Americas is proud that our commitment to the advancement of mobile finance and technology has once again been recognized by such a prestigious organization.”
Monitise Chief Executive Alastair Lukies said, “We are honored that Monitise Americas has been applauded as an innovator in the technology industry. This award, along with our growing registered customer base, is a great acknowledgement of our leadership in Mobile Money solutions in the US and globally.”
The Finalists were invited to present their winning strategies at the Red Herring Global Conference in Santa Monica, January 24-26, 2011. The Top 100 Winners were announced at a special awards ceremony on January 26 at the event.
