Red Herring on Wednesday will announce 200 companies as finalists in its annual competition for the “Red Herring 100 North America” list of technology companies that reflect promising innovations.

More than 1,000 privately held companies submitted entries and were judged on such factors as financial performance, innovations, quality of management, and their ability to execute their strategies.

The 100 winners will be announced May 23 at the Red Herring Spring conference in Monterey, California.

"We can see the resurgence of the tech sector reflected in the quantity and variety of excellent companies that we had to choose from in putting our list together,” said Joel Dreyfuss, editor-in-chief of Red Herring.

“It was difficult to choose the 200 finalists and we are very happy with the stellar quality of the companies on this short-list," said Mr. Dreyfuss.
