Snap Inc. , the creator of the Snapchat messenger, made it to the top thanks to the introduction of "mini apps." These are third-party applications that run inside the messenger and combine socialization and remote interaction with commercial services and solutions. The benefit is mutual: supporting business and combining the pleasant with the useful for users. For example, virtual fitting rooms (AR) or applications for joint discussion of which movie to watch with the ability to immediately buy tickets. Or a mini application that uses Computer Vision to recognize and identify real-world objects directly from Snapchat.
The developers of the popular PM service Asana came in 15th place. The service is malta number data well-known, with 89,000 companies and 3.5 million users as clients.
Another biotech company developing COVID tests, Seegene , is in 20th place (55 million test kits shipped to 67 countries).
You may have heard about Corning (No. 22 on the list) for a long time, when Hi-Tech news discussed their impact-resistant Gorilla Glass. Why is the company on the list for 2020-2021? Last year, the company began to pay much more attention not so much to protecting devices from falls, but to protecting surfaces from scratches. Corning has made good progress in this direction, which is why they got into the top.
There is another space-related company on the list, in addition to the brainchild of Elon Musk. This is LeoLabs - developers of radars for tracking objects in low Earth orbit. Given that in the next few years the number of satellites in orbit promises to exceed 50 thousand, the company has introduced a subscription for customers - satellite owners, which allows you to track whether their satellite has decided to fall into the Earth's atmosphere. And in general, the company's solutions can be useful for solving the problem of space debris.
