San Carlos, California, October 23, 2007 — Luidia Inc., a leading global provider of idea capturing technology and manufacturer of eBeam® interactive systems, has been named a Rising Star on Deloitte’s 2007 Technology Fast 500. A special category, the Rising Star list ranks 20 companies that have been in business a minimum of three years, but less than five years. They are ranked based on percentage of fiscal year revenue growth over three years (2004 to 2006). Deloitte’s Technology Fast 500 is a ranking of the 500 fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications and life sciences companies in North America.

“Interactive teaching is quickly becoming mission critical to education and our eBeam technology has become a huge hit with teachers and students worldwide,” said Rafi Holtzman, CEO of Luidia. “Luidia is providing a new generation with tools that enable collaboration and teamwork that will provide the ideas for tomorrow. Together with our partners and OEMs, we can improve collaboration, teamwork, and productivity in every classroom and every the boardroom.”

"Deloitte’s Technology Fast 500 Rising Stars honors young companies that have gained early traction in today’s highly competitive technology marketplace based on percentage of revenue growth," said Phil Asmundson, vice chairman, U.S. Technology, Media and Telecommunications, Deloitte & Touche USA LLP. “We applaud Luidia for being one of only 20 companies to achieve the Rising Star ranking in 2007.”
