Nominations open for Deloitte’s ‘Technology FAST 50’

Deloitte’s “Technology FAST 50” is a prestigious program awarding fast-growing technology companies headquartered in the Middle East and Cyprus, allowing them to grow and amplify their brand.

Deloitte announced that the nominations for the next edition of the program are now open.

The program ranks and recognises the 50 fastest-growing technology companies from all relevant regional sectors based on their percentage revenue growth over four years.

Further to the FAST 50 ranking, the program also showcases companies under the following categories:

Rising Star – companies with significant growth potential but trading for less than three years.

Impact – companies with an environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) element at the heart of their mission.

Companies to Watch – companies leading the way through innovation but do not meet the FAST 50 criteria yet.

Women in Leadership – a new category introduced in 2023 for companies that fulfil the FAST 50 criteria and are either led by a female CEO or have a founding team of at least 50% women.

Companies ranked in the 2nd edition of the program were recognised during an awards ceremony last week.
