White Bull takes a snapshot of Europe’s hottest tech companies
There’s a brand new tech awards in town called the Bully Award (no, it’s not for rewarding the big angry kid at school) and it’s being put together by the people behind a new European tech event organiser, White Bull Summits. Although you could be forgiven for commenting that there are plenty of tech events in Europe already, the Bully Awards are out to find Europe’s leading TMT companies. They sound a bit like the Red Herring 100 Europe. White Bull founder Farley Duvall in fact led all EMEA operations for Red Herring Magazine, until 2009.
Some sixty European companies are finalists in these awards. The advisors picked a list which contains 10 Dutch companies, nine German and nine UK companies. The remaining European countries and companies represented include: Austria (1), Belgium (1), Denmark (3), Estonia (2), Finland (5), France (3), Israel (2), Lithuania (1), Luxembourg (1), Norway (1), Spain (5), Sweden (1), and Switzerland (6). So what are the Dutch putting in their water?
The finalists consist of pure early stage startups, those seeking a Series A and growth stage companies. The list also also includes Cleantech. That slightly muddies the waters a little, but it is an interesting snapshot of the wider European ‘tech’ scene.
