La frase original es "En esta actividad participan 100 empresas locales y 48 extranjeras, entre las que destaca LA_EMPRESA."
Mi interpretación:
At this activities, there are 100 local companies participating and 48 foreign, among whom BUSINESS (outstands/emphasizes).
Mi pregunta: ¿como puedo traducir mejor *destaca* = outstands o emphasizes?
Muchas gracias por los comentarios y sugerencias 8-D

among them
I would just rephrase it to read as follows:
100 national and 48 companies from abroad, among them THE_COMPANY, are participating/participate/will participate in this activity.
I have the feeling that 'destacar' does not necessarily imply this emphasis. Also, I would not translate 'local' as 'local' but as 'national' as opposed to 'from other countries'. Last, but not least, it is not really clear whether THE_COMPANY belongs to the national companies or to those from abroad.

AllegroTrans
: I agree. "At this activities" is bad English. You have rephrased this correctly.

Deborah Workman
: I agree. Another option (perhaps more common in US English) would be "100 domestic and 48 foreign companies, among them ...".
