Mistral Mobile (www.mistralmobile.com) today announced that it has been selected as a candidate for Red Herring’s 2015 Top 100 Global award, a prestigious recognition honoring the year’s most audacious and far-reaching private technology companies and entrepreneurs from across the globe.
The Red Herring editorial team selected the companies demonstrating the most innovative technologies and business models originating from over 1,000 companies from more than 40 nations. These companies, representing past Red Herring Asia, Europe and North America award winners, are judged on a range of qualitative and quantitative metrics, including but not limited to, technology innovation, financial performance, growth criterion, management’s execution standards, potential globalization of the strategy, and market share improvement.
This unique assessment of potential is complemented by a review of the actual track record and standing of a company, which allows Red Herring to see past the “buzz” and make the list a valuable instrument for discovering and advocating the greatest business opportunities in the industry.
“Technology companies are becoming the bright spot in the economic outlook based on their increasing role within macro-‐economic environments,” stated Alex Vieux, Red Herring chairman. “2015 has demonstrated the sector’s vibrant activity and its contribution to the global economic recovery. An unprecedented number of entrepreneurs are jumping ahead of the competition and making a difference. Constant breakthroughs make recent developments obsolete faster than ever before. Mistral Mobile is performing exceptionally well in its field and strongly deserves to be singled out as one of the Red Herring Global finalists. At this stage, we are left with the daunting task to select the best qualified companies for the 2015 Top 100 Global Award.”
The finalists are invited to present their winning strategies at the Red Herring Global forum in Los Angeles, November 17 to 19. The Top 100 winners will be announced at a special awards ceremony on November 19.
