Submissions are now open for the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 Central Europe 2025 programme, inviting innovative technology companies to showcase their remarkable growth and impact.
The programme ranks the fastest-growing technology companies across Central Europe based on percentage revenue growth over four years, celebrating their exceptional innovation and market success.
The programme ranks 50 rapidly expanding technology firms, both public and private, across sectors such as communications, environmental technology, fintech, hardware, healthcare and life sciences, media and entertainment, and software. It includes categories like Companies to Watch, recognizing younger firms with extraordinary growth; Impact Stars, celebrating companies delivering positive impact in fintech, cyber, ESG, MedTech/BioTech, and defense; and AI Value Driver, honoring leaders leveraging generative AI for scalable business transformation. Participants benefit from opportunities to connect with industry leaders, elevate their brand visibility, attract media attention, and establish valuable partnerships.
The Deloitte Technology Fast 50 Central Europe programme requires companies to have been in business for a minimum of four years (founded on or before December 31, 2020), own proprietary intellectual property or technology contributing significantly to their revenues, invest heavily in technology research and development, and meet minimum revenue thresholds starting from €50,000 in 2021 up to at least €100,000 in 2024. Eligible companies must be headquartered in Central Europe, including Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania, Croatia, and Ukraine.
The Companies to Watch category highlights firms operating for at least three years (founded on or before December 31, 2021, with some exceptions) that meet similar intellectual property and technology criteria but have lower revenue thresholds starting at €10,000 in 2022 and €30,000 in 2024.
The Impact Stars category honors companies successfully delivering products or services that make a meaningful impact on business, the environment, and society while promoting diversity across fintech, cyber, ESG, MedTech/BioTech, and defense sectors, operating within Central Europe.
The AI Value Driver, a special recognition by Google Cloud and Deloitte, awards companies developing high-quality, scalable generative AI-powered solutions that create measurable value to clients, partners, or employees, also headquartered within Central Europe.
