Artemis Competition Names Top 50 Water Companies

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. Winners were announced on Earth Day. 

The Rating Matrix combines visionary technology, intellectual porpety and know-how 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.
