Streamezzo, creator of the Universal Software Platform™ that overcomes mobile industry fragmentation and powers the Mobile Internet, today announced the company is a recipient of the Red Herring 100 Europe award, an honor bestowed upon the top 100 private technology companies based in the EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) region.

Red Herring’s editorial staff reviewed data for several hundred private companies, analyzing a broad range of criteria, including financial performance, quality of management, execution of strategy, and dedication to research and development. 

“This year’s impressive list of winners demonstrates Europe’s emergence as a major player in the global technology sector,” said Red Herring Editor-in-Chief, Joel Dreyfuss.  “The exceptional accomplishments of European technology companies and entrepreneurs are a testament to the rapid advancements being made in building the European innovation ecosystem.”

The Red Herring 100 award is widely recognized as among the most prized and prestigious honors available to privately-held technology pioneers around the world.  To be awarded this honor places organizations in the company of firms like Google, Skype, and eBay, each of which were named to the list by Red Herring editors in their early days and touted as leaders that would change the way we live and work.
 
““We are truly honored to be recognized by Red Herring as one of Europe’s most promising and innovative companies,” said Pierre-Emmanuel Struyven, CEO of Streamezzo.  “Our Universal Software Platform is overcoming the industry fragmentation resulting from competing mobile standards and poor interoperability, and thereby creating an open infrastructure that benefits the entire ecosystem.  This award is further validation that the ubiquitous mobile services environment and unsurpassed quality of user experience Streamezzo enables are key advancements that hold the potential to impact the future course of our industry.”

To honor the CEOs of Red Herring 100 Europe companies, Red Herring has invited each CEO to present his or her company at its Red Herring Europe 2008 event.  Scheduled for April 14-16, at the Westin Dragonara Resort, this intimate, three-day event is themed “Ahead of the Curve” and will explore how European firms are leading the charge in many technology sectors, gaining the competitive advantage, and driving entrepreneurial success in ways that create business opportunities for challengers and incumbents alike.
