Since 1996, the Red Herring Top 100 award is one of the most prestigious recognitions in the industry and a reference for executives, investors and strategists. Each year, many top Asian, European and American companies have the unique opportunity to earn a spot in the Top 100 award.

The companies are evaluated on both quantitative and qualitative criteria, including financial performance, technological innovation and execution of strategy. Nearly 1400 companies per continent compete to reach the Top 100 and obtain the prestigious recognition this award brings (previous winners include Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube).

"Our mission of digital transformation by means of user experience, technology and communication is recongnized by the industry, and the Red Herring Top 100 award this year. And we couldn't have been prouder," said Louis Montagne, af83's CEO. "The team of Alex Vieux did an incredible job and the 2-day conference and presenting companies were impressive both in terms of quality and diversity. Europe is strong and this classification is a proof — across all technological sectors and company sizes."

"We looked at hundreds and hundreds of candidates from all across the continent, and after much thought and debate, narrowed the list down to the Top 100 Winners," said Alex Vieux, Red Herring's publisher and CEO. "Each year, the competition gets tougher but we believe af83 demonstrates the vision, drive and innovation that define a Red Herring winner."
