IN-FUSIO, the leading worldwide mobile game publisher and game service provider, was recognised today for its innovative business strategy by being recognised in the 2004 Red Herring 100. The distinct honour recognises private companies that best embody innovation, technology, strategy and promise. IN-FUSIO, which has the largest share of the mobile games market in Europe and is one of the leaders in China, has recently expanded to the U.S. and now provides titles to 71 wireless carriers worldwide and its unique game community management services to major carriers globally.

The Red Herring 100 list sets the standard as the industry's definitive ranking of private technology companies impacting the marketplace. Red Herring's editorial staff rigorously evaluated over 600 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. This year's selection process also examined the reality of survival for a company, analysing the ability to generate revenues, establish a strong customer base and strategic alliances.

"It is quite an honour to have IN-FUSIO's innovative business strategy, including the unique game service provider model, to be recognised and included amongst such a prestigious list of companies as the Red Herring 100," said Gilles Raymond, co-CEO and founder of IN-FUSIO. "We see the mobile gaming market continuing to expand at a rapid pace and we intend to keep IN-FUSIO at the forefront of this emerging industry."

In addition to publishing more than 65 mobile games globally, IN-FUSIO manages the mobile games platform for carriers including Vodafone D2, Orange France, SFR, Orange UK, Vodafone Omnitel, Telefonica Moviles and China Mobile. In the U.S. IN-FUSIO has recently expanded its presence with the opening of a Los Angeles office, a Microsoft global licensing deal, an agreement with Qualcomm to port ExEn technology to BREW games and the acquisition of the Chicago based game development studio, Cybiko. IN-FUSIO games are currently available in the U.S. on Verizon, Sprint and AT&T.
