This recognition from Red Herring reinforces our belief that it pays to do the right thing."

"This year was very rewarding," said Alex Vieux, publisher and Chairman of Red Herring. "There are so many great companies producing truly innovative and amazing products and technologies. We had a very difficult time narrowing the field and selecting the finalists from such a group of future stars. Global Village Concerns shows great promise therefore deserves to be on the short list.
