Leading young Hong Kong company wins prestigious Red Herring Global Tech 100 Award

Hong Kong, China – Vizualize, Asia’s premier provider of automated shopper intelligence solutions for bricks and mortar retailers, today announced that Red Herring has named the company a winner of Red Herring's prestigious Global 100 award.

Red Herring’s Global Top 100 has become a mark of distinction for identifying promising new companies and entrepreneurs. Red Herring was among the first to recognize that companies such as Facebook, Twitter, Google, Yahoo, Skype, Salesforce.com, YouTube, and eBay would change the way we live and work.

The Red Herring editorial team selected the most innovative companies from a pool of 1200 companies from across the world – the Finalists from its Red Herring Asia, Europe and North America Awards. The nominees were 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.

“Choosing the best out of the previous three years was by no means a small feat,” said Alex Vieux, Chairman of Red Herring. “After rigorous contemplation and discussion, we narrowed down our list from 1,200 potential companies to 200 finalists.  Trying to get it down to 100 companies was a task upon itself. Vizualize should be extremely proud of its achievement, the competition was difficult.”

"We are honoured to be recognised by Red Herring for this prestigious award," said Mike MacMillan, CEO at Vizualize. "Standing alongside 100 of the worlds most promising high-tech companies is a privilege and further validates our position as a leader in shopper behaviour monitoring, and our commitment to helping retailers develop advanced bricks and mortar shopper intelligence platforms. We pride ourselves on our ability to provide our customers with accurate insights they can rely on, so this award comes as a welcome validation of our continuing innovation in this field."
