Sulake Corporation selected for the 2006 Red Herring 100 Europe list
- Award Recognizes the 100 "Most Promising" Firms Driving the Future of Technology
HELSINKI, Finland, May 8, 2006 - Red Herring today announced that Sulake Corporation
is a recipient of Red Herring 100 Europe, a selection of the 100 private companies based in the
EMEA region that play a leading role in innovation and technology.
Sulake is an interactive entertainment company focused on online communities and casual
multiplayer games. Sulake's main product is Habbo, a new type of youth brand, which is based on one
of the world�s fastest growing online communities for teenagers - Habbo Hotel.
"Market obstacles remain but our list shows that great companies are being created in
Europe," said Red Herring editor-in-chief Joel Dreyfuss.
Red Herring's lists of top private companies are an important part of the magazine's
tradition of identifying new and innovative technology companies and entrepreneurs. Companies like
Google, eBay and Skype were spotted in their early days by Red Herring editors as those that would
change the way we live and work.
Red Herring's editorial staff rigorously evaluated more than 700 private companies through a
careful analysis of financial data and subjective criteria, including quality of management,
execution of strategy, and dedication to research and development.
To honor the CEOs of Red Herring 100 Europe companies, Red Herring has invited each CEO to
present his or her company at its Venture Market Europe 2006 conference, a forum for technology's
most exciting companies to share their insights on the future of innovation and the entrepreneurial
journey. Scheduled for May 8-10, at the Westin Paris, this intimate, three-day conference will
explore the trends, technologies and people affecting the IT sphere in the EMEA region. Last year's
optimistic outlook has been revisited and reflected in the 2006 theme "Old World, New Hope - 100
Reasons to Believe in Europe�s Innovative Edge."
