HARTFORD, Conn., Sept. 19, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Connecticut Technology Council (CTC) and Marcum LLP tonight announced the winners of the 2017 Marcum Tech Top 40, the tenth annual awards program from CTC recognizing the fastest growing technology companies in Connecticut.

The Marcum Tech Top 40, celebrating its tenth anniversary, recognizes technology companies with at least $3 million in annual revenue and a four-year record of growth, in six industry sectors. Both privately held and publicly traded companies are eligible.

“Marcum Tech Top 40 companies and winners are exemplars of overcoming any number of obstacles in business, including capital-raising, complex revenue reporting, intellectual property management, international expansion and other challenges. The tenth anniversary class of Marcum Tech Top 40 companies are best-in-class by all of these measures and more,” said Michael K. Brooder, CPA, managing partner of Marcum’s Hartford, Connecticut, office.

Bruce Carlson, CTC’s President & CEO, said, “The Marcum Tech Top 40 reminds us each year that technology companies are thriving in Connecticut. We need to support these companies and the others that are in a growth mode for Connecticut to achieve the job creation and economic growth we are all striving for.
