2. Tesla Motors is another big favorite and I feel like they are not getting the PR and recognition they deserve. This is a company that has already released a Model 5 Sedan that can travel 300 miles with one charge, seat 7 people, 0-60 in 5.6 seconds, and only costs $49,900. Yes, this is a big accomplishment and they deserve the spotlight. The average commuter travels 50 miles per day so this Sedan would more than cover the standard driver and then some.

3. WiiTricity is a company I have written about before and they are absolutely breaking down doors in terms of wireless power. The implications of their emerging technology would change everything that we know about energy delivery. See my previous post on WiiTricity and wireless power.

4. HTC, with their tag line "quietly brilliant", came out of the wood work and started dominating the Android mobile market. I think HTC is making some big, innovative, and ground breaking moves to compete with Apple. This year will be their chance to show the world what they are made of and with Google in their corner I think it's safe to say that things are looking good for them.

5. 3ALITY is a cutting edge 3D production company that was working with 3D before the latest hype and push for movie media and home media to take another look at 3D. 3ALITY not only has a state of the art facility in Burbank, CA but they offer the most advanced 3D film experiences, live or filmed, available. 3ALITY is poised to really benefit from the latest 3D trend... Good luck guys ;)
