"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."

Red Herring's lists of top private companies are an important part of the
company'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 hundreds of
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.

"Winning this prestigious award just two weeks after being named the most
innovative player in the Nordic digital content arena by winning Telenor's
Digital Winners Award 2008, is great acknowledgement of our work. It inspires
us to continue our efforts to move boundaries by making useful tools for our
customers and user friendly solutions to let consumers enjoy rich and
rewarding mobile services," says Espen Askvik, CEO of Mobiletech.

To honor the CEOs of Red Herring top 100 Europe companies, Red Herring
