Red Herring Reveals Companies Selected As Winners for the
Red Herring 100 Europe 2009
Berlin, April 3rd, 2009 – Red Herring today announced that Qoof Ltd.
was named a WINNER of the 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.
“During a difficult year, Red Herring still received an impressive list of
submissions from companies across the EMEA region, clearly demonstrating
Europe’s role as a major center of innovation in the global technology sector,”
said Red Herring Managing Director, Farley Duvall. “The exceptional
accomplishments of European technology startups 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
publication’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 several hundred 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 has honored the Red Herring 100 Europe Finalist companies at its Red
Herring Europe 2009 Conference, which was held March 31- April 2, at the Berlin

advantage, and driving entrepreneurial success in ways that create business
opportunities for challengers and incumbents alike.
