2007 成長最快的 100 家科技公司

Business 2.0 雜誌是我很喜歡看的雜誌，探討很多科技新創公司的趨勢和營運模式以及創業家的故事。

雖然美國經濟下滑，但美國科技業的發展還是影響著全世界的經濟脈動。最近，Business 2.0 選出了「100 Fastest growing tech companies」前一百家成長最快速的科技公司排行榜，就很有參考價值。其中負責建構寬頻影音串流骨幹網路解決方案的 Akamai Technologies 勇奪冠軍，我們也可以看出目前寬頻網路的發展趨勢和方向。

有興趣的朋友可以仔細瞧瞧這些入榜的企業，或許可以當作創業或是投資的參考標的.....
