NEW YORK, NY – January 4, 2010 – WorkLight, the leader in enterprise-class widgets, announced today it has been selected as a finalist for Red Herring's Global 100 award, a prestigious list honoring the year’s most promising private technology ventures from around the world.

WorkLight enables businesses to efficiently provide mobile, desktop and web-based widgets to their customers, partners and employees with a single platform.

“We are proud to be recognized by Red Herring, one of the world’s leading media authority on innovative technologies,” said Shahar Kaminitz, CEO at WorkLight. “Our team is committed to delivering continued innovation through our roadmap futures to expand the broader market for widget-based applications.”

The Red Herring editorial team selected the most innovative companies from a pool of 1,200. The nominees are 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.

"This year was especially difficult," said Alex Vieux, publisher and CEO of Red Herring. "Despite the global economic situation, there were many great companies producing really innovative and amazing products that we had a difficult time narrowing the pool and selecting the finalists. Now we’re faced with the arduous task of selecting the final 100 winners of the award. We know that this year’s crop will grow into some amazing companies that are sure to go far."

Finalists for the 2009 edition of the Red Herring Global 100 award are selected from the regional recipients or finalists of the Red Herring 100 awards in 2007, 2008, or 2009 ranging from Asia, Europe, and North America. For the past three years, the award has been given to the top 100 global technology companies based upon their technological innovation, management strength, market size, investor record, customer acquisition, and financial health. During the several months leading up to the announcement, hundreds of companies in the telecommunications, security, Web 2.0, software, hardware, biotech, and clean tech industries sent in their submissions to qualify for the award.

The CEOs of the 200 finalists are invited to present their winning strategies at the Red Herring Global Conference in Laguna Niguel, California, January 12-14, 2010. The Top 100 winners will be announced at a special awards ceremony at the event.
