7 November 2014 – OKAY.com today announced that it has been selected as a candidate for Red Herring's 2014 Top 100 Global award, a prestigious recognition honoring the year’s most audacious and far-reaching private technology companies and entrepreneurs from across the globe. Earlier this year, OKAY.com was recognized by Red Herring as one of the leading private ventures in Asia using technology to advance its industry, winning the the Red Herring Top 100 Asia award.  

 

The Red Herring editorial team selected the companies demonstrating the most innovative technologies and business models originating from over 1,000 companies from more than 40 nations. These companies, representing past Red Herring Asia, Europe and North America awards, are judged on a range of qualitative and quantitative metrics, including but not limited to, technology innovation, financial performance, growth criterion, management's execution standards, potential globalization of the strategy, and market share improvement. 

 

“Technology companies are becoming the bright spot in the economic outlook based on their increasing role within macro-economic environments,” stated Alex Vieux, Red Herring chairman. “2014 has demonstrated the sector's vibrant activity and its contribution to the global economic recovery. An unprecedented number of entrepreneurs are jumping ahead of the competition and making a difference. Constant breakthroughs make recent developments obsolete faster than ever before. OKAY.com is performing exceptionally well in its field and strongly deserves to be singled out as one of the Red Herring Global finalists. At this stage, we are left with the daunting task to select the best qualified companies for the 2014 Top 100 Global Award."

 

The finalists are invited to present their winning strategies at the Red Herring Global forum in Los Angeles, 18 to 20 November. The Global Top 100 winners will be announced at a special awards ceremony on 20 November at the event.
