LEUVEN MINDGATE

Deloitte Technology Fast50 and Rising Star competition


Election of the 50 fastest growing technology companies

Deadline for registration: 31 August 2009

For the tenth year Deloitte and its co-sponsors (e.g GIMV) organise the Deloitte Technology Fast50. In this anniversary year the Fast50 election is expanded from the Netherlands to the Benelux.

Participants can be public or private, and encompass all technology industry segments including software, internet, biotech/pharmaceutical/medical equipment, computers/peripherals, semiconductors/components/electronics, telecommunications/networking, media/entertainment and greentech.

Deloitte Technology Fast50
This competition is open to companies older than five years. Selection is based on the percentage revenue growth over the last five years (2004-2008). The winners will be announced during the Award Ceremony on 29 October 2009.

Rising Star: for younger companies

Companies younger than five years can enter this competition too, in the Rising Star category: this is for companies that have been in business from one to five years. Not their revenue growth, but their revenu potential is key. An independent jury selects the winners, which are challenged during the Rising Star Event on 1 October 2009.
