    Yesterday the Wall Street Journal Europe wrote an article discussing how a hub of European companies are preparing themselves to be established as a rival to America’s Silicon Valley.

    The paper explains that despite Europe having always been a renowned breading ground for innovation, only recently ‘have so many European technology start-ups begun to establish themselves as serious rivals to their Silicon Valley counterparts.’

    To support this statement the Wall Street Journal Europe comprised a list of the top 10 European technology start-ups or “top innovators,” illustrating the competitive force Europe has developed, in which Sports New Media was singled out.

    The Wall Street Journal Europe explains that the criteria used to form this list was businesses:

    Admired for the scope of their ambition, recognised for the inventiveness of their business models and notable for the potential they have to disrupt the markets in which they are making their names. All are, naturally, pre-acquisition, and most are backed by venture capitalists from across the world.”

    When discussing Sports New Media the Wall Street Journal Europe stated:

    “Sports New Media dominates the management of social media campaigns for football in the U.K. and is poised to expand rapidly into other sports. The company has been profitable for two years and is the brightest example of niche marketing technology married to comprehensive brand monitoring services.”

    Recognition for Sports New Media and its role as a global innovator has been steadily increasing. Recent notable examples include AllFacebook, who discussed the company as a result of its exceptional growth rate on Facebook pages. The Telegraph has also given praise to Sports New Media, mentioning the company as it discussed the new wave of “London’s tech stars.”
