King of Prussia, PA, 17 May, 2012 – Greenphire, the leading provider of payment technologies for the clinical trials industry, announced today that it has been awarded the Philadelphia Alliance for Capital and Technologies (PACT) Enterprise Award in the Technology Startup division. Greenphire and other Enterprise Award winners and finalists were recognized at the 19th Annual Enterprise Awards gala of 1,200 prominent business leaders on May 3, 2012 in Philadelphia.
The Enterprise Awards honor exceptional technology and life sciences companies and entrepreneurs in the greater Philadelphia region each year, with past ceremonies recognizing pillars of the healthcare and clinical trials community including Siemens Healthcare, BioClinica, and Shire Pharmaceuticals. The recognition followed an extensive vetting and selection process based on the finalist companies’ established success in delivering an innovative product, potential for growth, managerial ability, and demonstration of success via significant business milestones such as raising capital and achieving revenue growth.
Speaking at this year’s awards ceremony, PACT President and CEO Dean Miller commented on the role of Greenphire and other promising startup companies, saying “These startups are doing tremendous work that has great potential. For our region, they create jobs and provide business opportunity. But on a much wider scale they work to help improve the human condition…We’ve seen such a flurry of business activity over the past year, and businesses are growing and innovating. Venture money is starting to flow again, deal flow is ramping up, new products are rolling out the door, new partnerships are developing, and companies are hiring again. We can certainly feel the energy in the room. And it is that same energy and success that defines (Greenphire).”
Greenphire Co-Founder and CEO Sam Whitaker similarly expressed the company’s enthusiasm with the Enterprise Award, saying “It’s exciting to be recognized for the Enterprise Award. I’ve seen this award identify promising and ultimately thriving technology companies for years, and it’s a thrill for Greenphire to be a part of it this time around. It’s a true honor for me and the company, given the credibility and experience which PACT embodies.”
