Deloitte Technology Fast 500 EMEA selection and qualifications
The Technology Fast 500 list is compiled by the Deloitte EMEA Technology Fast 50 programme, nominations submitted directly to the Technology Fast 500, as well as public company database research. To qualify for the Technology Fast 500, entrants must have had base-year operating revenues of at least EUR50,000 and current-year operating revenues of at least EUR800,000.
Entrants may be either public or private companies but must be a 'technology company', headquartered in EMEA.
