Tobii Technology Selected as a Red Herring Top 100 Europe for the third year in a row

Red Herring announced its Top 100 Award in recognition of the leading private companies from Europe, celebrating these startups’ innovations and technologies across their respective industries.

Red Herring’s Top 100 Europe list has become a mark of distinction for identifying promising new companies and entrepreneurs. Red Herring editors were among the first to recognize that companies such as Facebook, Twitter, Google, Yahoo, Skype, Salesforce.com, YouTube, and eBay would change the way we live and work.

“Choosing the companies with the strongest potential was by no means a small feat,” said Alex Vieux, publisher and CEO of Red Herring. “After rigorous contemplation and discussion, we narrowed our list down from hundreds of candidates from across Europe to the Top 100 Winners. We believe Tobii Technology embodies the vision, drive and innovation that define a successful entrepreneurial venture. Tobii Technology should be proud of its accomplishment, as the competition was very strong.”

Red Herring’s editorial staff evaluated the companies on both quantitative and qualitative criteria, such as financial performance, technology innovation, management quality, strategy, and market penetration. This assessment of potential is complemented by a review of the track record and standing of startups relative to their sector peers, allowing Red Herring to see past the “buzz” and make the list a valuable instrument of discovery and advocacy for the most promising new business models in Europe.

“Tobii is continuously breaking new ground with our eye tracking technology, which means that we have not just delivered a novelty at one point in time, but we’re constantly presenting innovations within this exciting field. Making it to the Red Herring Top 100 for the third year in a row is a fantastic acknowledgement for us”, said John Elvesjö, founder and CTO, Tobii Technology.
