picoChip selected for The Red Herring 100 Europe
Award recognizes the 100 “most promising” firms driving the future of technology
Red Herring today announced that picoChip is a recipient of Red Herring 100 Europe, a selection of the 100 private companies based in the EMEA region that play a leading role in innovation and technology.
Red Herring’s lists of top private companies are an important part of the magazine’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 as those that would change the way we live and work.
picoChip’s President and CEO, Guillaume d'Eyssautier, commented, “We are honoured to be named in the Red Herring 100. With customers that include Intel, Airspan and other key OEMs for WiMAX, WCDMA and TD-SCDMA we have established our place as leaders in the market. Recognition, such as this Red Herring award and our recent Frost & Sullivan award, affirm that position. Our multi-core DSP is the most powerful device available, and picoChip is proud to be playing a crucial role in enabling next-generation wireless.”
Red Herring’s editorial staff rigorously evaluated more than 700 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.
