The FT1000 ranking methodology

The Financial Times and Statista identified Europe’s fastest growing companies through a rigorous selection process. This involved a public call for entries and the analysis of verifiable revenue data. The ranking is based on compound annual growth rate (CAGR) between 2020 and 2023.

To qualify for inclusion, companies had to have a minimum revenue of €100,000 in 2020 and at least €1.5 million in 2023. In addition, growth had to be organic, i.e. not driven by mergers or acquisitions.

The full list of Europe’s Fastest Growing Companies 2025 will be published online on the Financial Times website in March 2025.
