Project Details
About the project
The FT1000 – Europe’s Fastest-Growing Companies 2025 is a list of the top 1000 companies based in Europe that have achieved the highest growth rate in revenues between 2020 and 2023. To be included in the list, companies had to be independent, headquartered in Europe and have primarily organic revenue of at least €100,000 generated in 2020 and €1.5 million generated in 2023.
Published online and as a supplement within the print edition of the Financial Times, the annual high-profile list is a visible and public acknowledgement of fast-growing businesses in Europe.
HOW WE CALCULATE CAGR
Calculation of growth rates
Company growth rate is based on revenue figures provided by the evaluated companies. For this, we use the Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) formula:
METHODOLOGY
How we work
Learn about our general approach to creating rankings for fastest growing companies. Further details about how the ranking was created can be found in the Europe's Fastest Growing Companies 2025 methodology.
01 Concept
The Fastest Growing Companies project ranks businesses based on their revenue growth percentage over three years, focusing on organic growth. The rankings include companies that meet set criteria like revenue thresholds, independence and financial performance.
02 Data Collection
For data collection, we create online application forms that eligible companies can use to register and submit financial and business information. Additionally, our analysts identify potential candidates for the rankings through research in company databases and other public sources, inviting them to apply for the ranking via mail, email or phone.
03 Evaluation
In order to evaluate candidates, revenue figures are verified by company management, with additional checks for small or unincorporated companies. Revenue growth rates are then calculated using the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) based on the companies’ reported figures. For better comparability, all revenues are standardized to a single currency.
04 Quality Assurance
Our team of analysts rigorously checks and verifies submissions, researches missing data in public and proprietary sources, and excludes companies that do not meet the eligibility criteria. A minimum growth rate is required for inclusion in each ranking.
Partnership
Our media partner
