17.11.10 | European Techtour selects hetras among the top 25 Cloud Computing Companies
The European Tech Tour Association (ETT) announced its final list of selected companies for the inaugural of the Cloud and ICT 2.0 Summit 2010, to be held on November 17-18, in Lausanne and Geneva, Switzerland. The Summit is a catalyst for the emerging cloud computing industry in Europe, aiming to assist high-growth companies to expand throughout the world by introducing them to senior technology industry professionals.
Key gathering of Europe’s 25 finest innovators, entrepreneurs and IT leaders
From an initial cluster of 234 innovative companies identified in the growing cloud computing industry in Europe, the Selection Committee reviewed the business plans of 85 companies from across 16 countries. Based on these, the Selection Committee invited the CEOs of what it believes to be the 25 most promising and innovative companies to attend the summit and present their vision of the industry and business strategies for growth to an international audience of influential global investors, technology industry leaders, IT service providers, and academics.
The final 25 start-ups are: Aepona, Amalto Technologies, Amplidata, A-Server, Brightpearl, Cloudmore, CloudSigma, Cohesive Flexible Technologies Corporation, hetras, IIKO, Kinamik Data Integrity, Kwaga, maatG, Nubera (GetApp.com), Racktivity, RunMyProcess, Sandbourne Systems (eSellerPro), SolveDirect Service Management, SQR Technologies, ThinPrint, Tradeshift Network, Twinfield, Visor (AccountsIQ), webdoc and Workbooks Online.
There is an equal split between companies from the Software-as-a-Service segment - offering new business applications made possible by the Cloud Computing paradigm change – and companies which provide disruptive technologies and innovative services (Infrastructure-as-a-Service, Platform-as-a-Service) to further accelerate the migration from traditional IT to Cloud Computing.
Cloud Computing, an opportunity for European innovation
Pierre Liautaud, President of ETT Cloud & ICT 2.0 Summit 2010, said, “Over the past six months, much has happened to clear the way for broad adoption of Cloud Computing by businesses of all sizes and all industries, not only in the US but also in Europe and worldwide. Major players are investing billions of dollars in underlying infrastructure and platform services, thus creating new ways for innovators and entrepreneurs to dream up viable business models."
