a ranking of the fastest growing public and private technology companies throughout
Europe, the Middle East and Africa. The competition is now well established as the
most objective awards of its type across 20 participating countries in EMEA.
Ranking is based on percentage of revenue growth over a five-year period, and is
compiled from the winners of Deloitte's regional Fast50 competitions as well as
from direct nominations and public company database research. Reaching this ranking
is a significant achievement within the technology community. Companies may nominate
themselves to join a local Fast50 program from April until June each year. Technology
Fast500 EMEA winners are announced in Late November each year. Please check out
