Delta Technology Solutions has been selected as a finalist for Red Herring's Top 100 Asia award, a prestigious list honouring the year’s most promising private technology ventures from the Asian business region.

Selecting the most innovative companies from a pool of hundreds from across Asia, the nominees are evaluated on both quantitative and qualitative criteria, such as financial performance, technological innovation, quality of management, execution of strategy, and integration into their respective industries.

This unique assessment of potential is complemented by a review of company track records and standings, which allows Red Herring to see past the “buzz” and make the list a valuable tool for discovering and advocating for the best business opportunities in the industry.

"Entrepreneurship in Asia has reached an inflexion point, and as a result Red Herring Asia 2013, has shifted into a new phase," says Alex Vieux, publisher and CEO, Red Herring.

“A second generation of entrepreneurs with CEO backgrounds is emerging and their execution skills and global ambitions lead to restless growth and amazing journeys.

"As importantly, we are seeing more companies from countries once absent from innovation circles.

"Delta shows great promise and therefore deserves to be among the finalists. Now we’re faced with the difficult task of selecting the Top 100 winners of Red Herring Asia.

"We know that the 2013 crop will reward us for long and continued efforts in scouting disruptive companies in Asia.

"The wealth of talent and achievements displayed by Red Herring Asia finalists is an excellent predictor for the new world rising.”

The finalists are invited to present their winning strategies at the Red Herring Asia Forum in Hong Kong between September 3-5, with the Top 100 winners announced at a special awards ceremony on the closing evening.
