he 2010 Competition is now underway! We are currently accepting company recommendations
“[The competition] has been a nice boost for us to have our business recognized as one of the top companies in the water industry.” Bill Yost, CEO, Electrolytic Ozone Inc. (EOI)
"[The Artemis Project Top 50 Competition] has given Epuramat considerable exposure and recognition, a much needed boost. [That] our reach has gone global so quickly shows that The Artemis Project Top 50 Competition is the perfect vehicle to accomplish this [with] our limited PR budget." Epuramat was recently named a Technology Pioneer by the World Economic Forum.
The Artemis Project sponsored the first Top 50 Water Companies Competition to identify the leading game-changing technologies that provide venture grade investment opportunities in the water sector.
The competition goes beyond identifying visionary or exciting technology to assess a company's ability to become an industry leader through market opportunity coupled by a depth of intellectual property and know-how. The Artemis Project Company Rating Matrix combines these measures with an evaluation of the company management team and its investors. The judging criteria included ipCapital Group's proprietary patent scoring algorithm, ipDimensional Scoring, which objectively ranks companies within a particular sector based on the relative value of its patents.

ipCG Dimensional Scoring: ipCG developed a proprietary method of relative ranking for patents based on studying patterns in successfully monetized patents in the marketplace. Thus the factors in our model correlate to value in a business transaction rather than hypothetical measurements of patent value. Not all patents are created alike, and those that exhibit key characteristics such as technical breadth and citation by other companies correlate with more valuable IP. Particularly when it comes to shareholder value, M&A, licensing, or IP litigation, perceived value of patents does matter, and in a business deal, a solid IP portfolio becomes an attractive piece of the overall value proposition.
Judging Criteria:
We have rendered our opinion based on the material provided in the company application. We have assumed that the companies have submitted this information in good faith and that the information is accurate.
In addition, we have assumed an optimistic perspective that the teams behind each of these companies can fulfill the promise of their early-stage ventures.
A venture-grade investment opportunity is defined as a company that spends a significant up-front investment to develop IP and know-how that enables it to: create a fully developed solution to an urgent, strategic problem; address a large, mass market which provides for sustainable, rapid growth; address a market of customers with similar needs that can use an off-the-shelf product and make decisions within in a 3 months to one-year time frame and then purchase significant units of the product; increase sales rapidly; establish a sustainable leadership position with a high profit margin.
The Artemis Project is proud to announce the winners of its first annual Top 50 Water Companies Competition. This award distinguishes advanced water and water-related technology companies as leaders in their trade for helping to build water into one of the great high-growth industries of the 21st Century. The companies were selected by a panel of experts based on an integrated matrix of four criteria: technology, intellectual property and know-how, team and market potential. Congratulations to each of the The Artemis Project's Water Top 50! Congratulations, also, to the 5 companies we are honoring as leaders in the industry.
