| | August 26th, Montreal, Quebec, Red Herring Magazine has named 6N Silicon a finalist for the "Red Herring Top 50 Canada" award, a prestigious list honoring this year's most promising private technology ventures in Canada.

The names of all 100 companies short--listed as finalists for the "Red Herring Top 50 Canada 2008" can be found online at: http://www.herringevents.com/canada08/Canada50.html
For over 10 years, The "Red Herring 100" awards, open to private technology companies, are given to the top 100 tech companies, based upon technology innovation, management strength, market size, investor record, customer acquisition and financial health. Adding to the success of our yearly North America 100, Europe 100 and Asia 100 events, Red Herring Canada will provide an opportunity for the Top 50 companies to deliver their message at the Red Herring Canada Conference in Mont-Tremblant, Quebec, September 15-17, 2008. Throughout several months leading up to the announcement, hundreds of companies in the telecom, Web 2.0, software, hardware, biotech and energy related industries sent their submissions to qualify for the award.
The nominees are rigidly evaluated on both quantitative and qualitative criteria, such as financial performance, technology innovation, quality of management, execution of strategy, and integration into their ecosystem. This unique assessment of potential is measured by a review of the actual track record and standing of a company, allowing Red Herring to see past the "buzz" and make the list an invaluable instrument for discovering and advocating the greatest business opportunities in the industry.
