Hellerup, Denmark; April 18, 2012 – Azanta A/S announced today it has been selected as a Finalist for Red Herring's Top 100 Europe award, a prestigious list honoring Europe’s most promising private technology ventures of the year.

The Red Herring editorial team has selected the most innovative companies from a pool of hundreds from across Europe. Azanta and the other nominees are evaluated on both quantitative and qualitative criteria, such as financial performance, technology innovation, quality of management, execution of strategy, and integration into their respective industries.

This unique assessment of potential is complemented by a review of the actual track record and standing of Azanta and other companies, which allows Red Herring to see past the “buzz” and make the list a valuable instrument for discovering and advocating the greatest business opportunities in the industry.

"This ...
