Zymetis Named Top 50 Company
Zymetis today announced that it was named to the 2009 GoingGreen East 50 Top Company List. The GoingGreen East 50 Award is given to private, emerging companies creating new green technology businesses. Zymetis was selected by the AlwaysOn editorial team and KPMG, based on demonstration of growth, market opportunity, quality of innovation and customer traction.
“We are excited and flattered,” says Scott Laughlin, CEO of Zymetis. “We are just coming out of our stealth development phase. To be placed alongside companies that have already raised tens of millions of investment dollars, is quite an honor and a validation of the uniqueness and the tremendous commercial opportunity of our solution for clean and affordable transportation fuels.” Zymetis was formed just two years ago to capitalize on the unique digestive capabilities of a rare marine bacterium.
“The GoingGreen East 50 companies have demonstrated their tenacity even in the toughest economic conditions that the technology world has ever encountered,” said Tony Perkins, founder and editor of AlwaysOn. “We applaud their success in pushing the boundaries of innovation, creating market opportunities and transforming the industry even in the earlier stages of their businesses.”
The GoingGreen East 50 winners were selected from among hundreds of other technology companies nominated by investors, bankers, journalists and industry insiders. The AlwaysOn editorial team conducted a rigorous three-month selection process to finalize the 2009 list.
Zymetis and the other GoingGreen East winners will be recognized at the GoingGreen East Conference at the Four Seasons in Boston, MA, on March 9-11.
