Japan Market Intelligence K.K. Named a Red Herring Top 100 Asia Company
  Award recognizes 100 private companies in Asia that drive the technology industry’s future

Belmont, August 20, 2005 – Japan Market Intelligence K.K. (JMI) today announced that JMI has been named one of the Red Herring 100 Private Companies of Asia. The inaugural Asia 100 list is dominated by companies from fast growing markets of China (35 companies) and India (16 companies). However 8 of the winning companies were selected from Japan.

“Getting selected for the Red Herring Asia 100 list is quite an achievement,” said Red Herring editor-in-chief Joel Dreyfuss. “We had many strong entries, a reflection of the depth of entrepreneurship that has taken hold in Asia.”

“We are very happy to be recognized by such a prestigious publication as Red Herring; given it’s track record,” said JMI’s General Manager Yukiko Hashimoto. “We look forward to further building on our current business base, developing and utilizing technology in the Market Research / Consulting industry in Japan.”

Red Herring’s lists of private companies are an important part of the magazine’s tradition of identifying new and innovative technology companies and entrepreneurs. Companies like Google and eBay were spotted in their early days by Red Herring editors as those that would change the way we live and work.

Red Herring’s editorial staff rigorously evaluated more than 500 private companies through a careful analysis of financial data and subjective criteria, including quality of management, execution of strategy, and dedication to research and development. Red Herring 100 Asia companies will be presenting their business model and strategy at the Red Herring 100 Asia Conference. The conference will take place September 5-7 at the Shangri-La Hotel in Shanghai, China.
