"The competition for the Red Herring Top 100 was fierce. Youtap should be extremely proud of its achievement," said Alex Vieux, Chairman of Red Herring. "After rigorous evaluation, our judges narrowed down the list from 1,100 potential companies to 100 winners. It was an extremely difficult process. The Top 100 Global is truly the best of the best," he added.
Red Herring's editorial staff evaluated the companies on both quantitative and qualitative criteria, including financial performance, technology innovation, management quality, strategy, and market penetration.
