“Choosing the companies with the strongest potential was by no means a small feat,” said Alex Vieux, publisher and CEO of Red Herring. “After rigorous contemplation and discussion, we narrowed our list down from hundreds of candidates from across Asia to the Top 100 Winners. We believe CyberZ embodies the vision, drive and innovation that define a successful entrepreneurial venture. CyberZ should be proud of its accomplishment, as the competition was as strong as ever.”
