WOT is #1 Rising Star of the North from Finland, Awarded by SIME
The reputation rating service Web of Trust is the top Finnish company in the 2009 SIME Rising Stars of the North, and fifth overall in the Nordics. The 12-member jury selected the WOT browser add-on as top in Finland because it uses a high level of innovation and has created a unique product with a clear end-user focus. WOT and its new commercial product, the Community Trust Network, was judged to have great potential to become a commercial success and mean a lot to users and customers.
An independent professional jury handpicked 36 promising, young nominees from a field of 150 companies based in Scandinavia. WOT, from Helsinki, Finland, demonstrated competences within technology, strategy, and communication making it the top achiever of all companies nominated from Finland. The awards were given at a gala event in Stockholm on November 12. SIME is northern Europe’s largest conference about the Internet and digital opportunities. http://sime.nu/
