Aggie _logo CopyThe 100 fastest-growing Aggie-owned or Aggie-led businesses in the world were recognized Nov. 11 at the 12th Annual Aggie 100 program, and 37 of the 100 companies recognized are owned or led by graduates of the Texas A&M University College of Engineering.

The Aggie 100 is sponsored by the Center for New Ventures and Entrepreneurship in the Mays Business School at Texas A&M.

“I applaud and congratulate our former students who are among the Aggie 100 for embracing the entrepreneurial spirit and mindset,” said M. Katherine Banks, vice chancellor and dean of engineering. “It takes courage to set an idea in motion, manage the highs and lows and see it through to ultimate success.”

This year marks the 12th year for the award, and to celebrate the milestone, all honorees and past honorees were invited to attend an evening gala at the Hall of Champions at Kyle Field. Over the last 12 years, a total of 217 companies owned or led by Aggie engineers have been recognized by the Aggie 100.
