Deloitte’s 27th annual Technology Fast 50 awards is open for nominations until 28 June. The awards rank and recognise the 50 fastest growing technology companies in the UK, based on the last four years of revenue growth.
Since 1998, the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 awards have showcased an increasingly innovative and diverse range of UK-based technology companies. Last year’s cohort of Fast 50 companies generated cumulative revenues of £801 million in 2022/23, an impressive average growth rate of 5,473% and employed nearly 15,000 people.
Beyond the Fast 50 ranking, awards will also be given in the Women in Leadership, CleanTech, Regional and Rising Star categories.
Kiren Asad, lead partner for the Deloitte UK Technology Fast 50 programme, commented: “As the UK aims to position itself as a global leader in technology and innovation, the hard work and tenacity of tech start-ups is helping to create jobs, value for the economy, and exciting new products and services.
“The 27th year of our annual Technology Fast 50 awards will showcase the businesses that are making a real influence in their sectors. We look forward to viewing this year’s entries, and celebrating the growth and entrepreneurship of the UK start-up scene.”
Julian Rae at Deloitte, added: “The Technology Fast 50 celebrates the best and most innovative of businesses across the UK, with eleven winners hailing from outside of the capital since the inception of the awards. The economic and business landscape is fast-moving and changing, so it’s important that we take the time to stop and recognise the importance of start-ups for regional economies. The value of the jobs, investment and growth generated from these companies cannot be understated. We look forward to seeing all of this year’s East Anglian nominations.”
