Metrum Research Group recipient of 2018 Marcum Tech Top 40 Award;

Awards to honor state's 40 Fastest Growing Tech Companies, part of ConnectiTECH Awards October 3

Tariffville, CT - The Connecticut Technology Council (CTC) and Marcum LLP today announce the 2018 Marcum Tech Top 40, the annual recognition of the fastest growing technology companies in Connecticut. This year’s group of top-ranked companies will be honored at the new ConnectiTECH Awards event at the Connecticut Convention Center on October 3. Metrum Research Group will be honored with 39 other companies and two accelerator award-winners as the class of 2018. This marks the eighth time Metrum Research Group has been chosen as a Marcum Tech Top 40 recipient.

The Marcum Tech Top 40 has honored over 400 Connecticut-based technology and tech-enabled companies since 2008. The awards recognize technology leaders in six industry sectors: Advanced Manufacturing; Energy and Environmental; Life Sciences; New Media, Internet, and Telecom; IT Services; and Software. Metrum Research Group has been named a Tech Top 40 in the Life Sciences category. Metrum Research Group is a recipient of this award due to strong revenue growth of at least $3 million in annual revenue as well growth in each of the preceding four years.

2018’s honorees are a diverse set of businesses from around the state. Eleven companies are publicly traded, and eight have over than $1 billion in annual revenue. Two younger companies, Farmington’s Diameter Health and Stamford’s Link AKC will be honored at the Tech Top 40 as Accelerators, a classification reserved for companies that successfully scaled to $3 million in revenue in fewer than three years.

Marc R. Gastonguay, Ph.D., Founder and CEO of Metrum Research Group, commented “All credit for our recognition as a Marcum Tech Top 40 company goes to the incredibly talented, bright, and hard-working employees of Metrum Research Group. This is a particularly meaningful honor for our company as it recognizes the amazing tech companies in our home state of CT, a state where many of our staff were educated, or developed on-the-job experience and skills.”

“Marcum is extremely proud to partner with the Connecticut Technology Council to present the Marcum Tech Top 40 Awards which honor some of Connecticut’s most innovative companies,” said Michael K. Brooder, CPA, Marcum’s office managing partner in Hartford, Connecticut. “This annual program over the past 11 years has allowed us a fascinating glimpse into the forward thinking that keeps Connecticut on the forefront of technology innovation and business leadership. We heartily congratulate this year’s class of winners and look forward to watching their continuing contributions to Connecticut’s business environment.” 
Bruce Carlson, CTC’s President and CEO added, “Growth in Connecticut must and does come from the technology sector, and these Marcum Tech Top 40 companies are exemplary of the achievements within the industry we represent in the state. As part of the ConnectiTECH Awards, the Marcum Tech Top 40 lauds the leaders in tech in Connecticut, and inspires more to follow suit.”
