Award Recognizes the 100 Private European and Israeli Firms Driving the Future of Technology
London, April 13, 2005 – Red Herring announced that VoiceObjects AG is a recipient of Red Herring 100 Europe, a selection of the 100 private companies in Europe and Israel that play a leading role in innovation and technology.
”Our list shows that despite obstacles posed by regulations, bureaucracy and tradition, innovation and entrepreneurship continues to thrive in Europe,” said Red Herring editor-in-chief Joel Dreyfuss.
“We are honored that our efforts to enable the next generation of voice applications have been recognized by Red Herring in its ranking of the Top 100 technology companies in Europe and Israel,” said Karl-Heinz Land, co-founder and CEO of VoiceObjects. “The award acknowledges our innovative approach. Building automated telephone services with a server-based architecture provides voice applications with the flexibility, scalability and manageability that is needed in today’s business processes. Being a 2005 Red Herring Winner will allow us to generate more visibility in the international marketplace.”
This is the first time that Red Herring magazine has compiled a list focused exclusively on the most promising startups in Europe.
Red Herring’s editorial staff rigorously evaluated more than 800 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.
To honor the CEOs of Red Herring 100 Europe companies, Red Herring has invited each CEO to present his or her company at its Venture Market Europe 2005 conference, a forum for technology’s most exciting companies to share their insights on the future of innovation and the entrepreneurial journey. Scheduled for April 12-14, 2005 at the Hilton on Park Lane in London, this intimate, three-day conference will explore the trends, technologies and people affecting the European IT sphere, including the new challenges posed to European companies by emerging competitors in Asia.
