Since 1996, leading tech news magazine, Red Herring annually reviews thousands of candidates for each of its 3 Top 100 awards (Asia, Europe and the Americas) and is widely recognized as one of the industry’s more prestigious awards.
Each year for the past decade, there has been a strong Israeli presence among the companies nominated for the Top 100 Europe category, where Israeli firms compete. This year, Israel set a new best with 30 startups being nominated, out of which 9 were named winners.
There is no doubt about it: Israel has become a world leader in startup success. Famously titled as the Startup Nation, Israel has earned international acclaim for its cutting-edge innovations, startups and research in the fields of science, technology, medicine and the environment.
