The results of Technology Fast500 EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Africa) 2009 are announced
with an award ceremony held at Chelsea Football Club, London on November 24, 2009.
This year,
30 Turkish technology companies were listed in the Technology
Fast500 EMEA Program compared to 20 companies in 2008. In it’s fourth year the Turkish
Technology Fast50 Programme has, for the first time, three companies in the Top
10 securing the first, the second and the tenth place. The annual ranking of the
fastest growing public and private technology, media, telecommunications, life sciences
and green technology companies from 26 countries in EMEA is based on companies’
/ entrants’ five-year revenue growth.
Biotekno, a mobile business integrator, achieved the top spot on
the list with a five-year growth rate of 42,417 percent to achieve 2008 fiscal year
revenue of €37.4 million. The company is privately held and based in Istanbul, Turkey.
Millenicom , the first runner up ranked 2nd and
Cetech, the second runner up ranked 10th.
The UK remains home to the highest concentration of Technology Fast 500 EMEA companies,
with 87, followed by France (80). This reverses last year’s outcome, when France
narrowly beat the UK. Turkey also climbed up the list, with 10 more ranked companies
this year compared to 2008. This year also saw Greece join the Deloitte Fast 500
EMEA ranking.
Following the UK and France were: the Netherlands (58), Norway (50), Sweden (38),
Germany (32), Turkey (30), Israel (25), Finland (23) Republic of
Ireland (18), Hungary (10). There were 49 further companies from a range of countries.
