The Red Herring (www.redherring.com) editorial team selected the most innovative companies from a pool of 1,200. The nominees are evaluated on both quantitative and qualitative criteria, such as financial performance, technology innovation, quality of management, execution of strategy, and integration into their respective industries.

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 's8220;buzz's8221; and make the list an invaluable instrument for discovering and advocating the greatest business opportunities in the industry.

This year was especially difficult, said Alex Vieux, Publisher and CEO of Red Herring. There were so many great companies producing really innovative and amazing products that we had a difficult time narrowing it down to 200. Now we's8217;re faced with the arduous task of selecting the final 100. We know that this year's8217;s crop will grow into some amazing companies that are sure to go far.
