NomaDesk, announced today that it was named “Europe’s Most Promising Startup” at the 2009 Innovate! Europe Competition. Organized by the Guidewire Group, the contest identifies the top technology startups in Europe and Israel and helps them accelerate their business internationally while providing them with valuable exposure.
Among the 168 promising startups that competed, NomaDesk stood out due to its potential – excellent technology, strong management team and already successful business model. As the “Europe’s Most Promising Startup,” NomaDesk will spend 3 months in the Guidewire STUDIO, an in-residence business accelerator in the heart of Silicon Valley, where NomaDesk executives will have the opportunity to benefit from high-tech, business and investment expert mentors, to reach new investors and to form strategic partnerships.
"NomaDesk secured the winning nomination from our mentors because the company is already making substantial progress in its efforts to take its business into new markets,” said Chris Shipley, executive director of Innovate! Europe and Chairman of Guidewire Group. “From its current revenue-generating business, we expect NomaDesk to become a brand name in the global market for virtual document sharing and storage."
NomaDesk has been recognized by the European Trade Association for Business Angels and Early Stage Investors (EBAN) with the Award for Most Successful Angel-Backed Company on the occasion of their 4th Annual Award Ceremony held in Madrid on April 27th 009.

NomaDesk received a seed round of €350 000 in 2005 from business angels, and recently raised a €3M round of funding from Gimv, one of Europe’s most well-known private equity and venture capital providers.
“We are truly honoured to have received this award and the recognition for our enterprise class solution for masses of digital nomads, remote workers and SMEs,” comments Filip Tack, CEO and cofounder of NomaDesk. “This award is a massive ‘thank-you’ to all our backers, our team and of course, our users and customers.”

Bringing a dream to life, Erwin Suykens and Jan De Man take a classic Porsche Carrera from Belgium to China in a 6 month journey. Covered in the local, national, and European media, NomaDesk is facilitating all their communication efforts with the press, ensuring their latest posts are always at hand, even when there is no internet connection available.
There's sure to be places along their journey where Jan and Erwin will be compelled to put their thoughts in writing while in the middle of uninhabitable, rugged country. NomaDesk will enable them to do so, and as soon as they get back in range of the internet, their documents are automatically synced to the countless supporters and press following their journey.
We are proud to sponsor true modern-day nomads such as Jan and Erwin, and they can always count on our sympathy and support.
