Deloitte Technology Fast 50 in Central Europe |
Welcome to the official site of the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 Program in Central Europe. This prestigious annual award honors the fastest growing Central European technology companies, based on the percentage of revenue growth over five-year period. Deloitte representatives verify the data from registered companies to determine whether it has been accurately reported. Deloitte does not audit the companies nor does it analyse their financial standing.
This competition is a Deloitte initiative on a regional and global level that aims to draw attention to fast-growing companies and to highlight companies who are just establishing themselves on the market.
