The Financial Times is planning the eighth edition of the FT​ ​1000​: Europe’s Fastest Growing Companies ranking, to be published in March 2024​.

In partnership with Statista, the German data provider, the FT will seek to identify the 1,000 European companies with the strongest revenue growth between 2019 and 2022. They will be featured in a special report in a weekday edition of the FT newspaper and on FT.com. Last year’s report can be found here.

To participate, you will need to provide your revenue figures for the years 2019-2022 as well as some additional information, including your company’s headcount at the end of those years.

Potential candidates will be contacted by Statista or can put their names forward now, via this website.


Why should my company participate?

NEW BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES

Inclusion in the FT 1000 ranking is a visible and public acknowledgment of your company’s performance, which can focus attention on your business from potential partners, customers, and investors around the world.

EMPLOYER AWARENESS

Revenue growth usually results in a need for additional employees. Being featured in this high-profile ranking will not only increase awareness of you as an employer; it also gives potential employees an understanding of your company’s future potential.

MEDIA COVERAGE

The ranking will be covered in a special report: a supplement within a weekday edition of the FT newspaper and on FT.com. The full ranking will be published online and FT reporters will focus on interesting companies, sectors and trends in the articles within the special report.

REPUTATION AND MARKETING

All companies that make it into the list may use the award logo for marketing purposes¹.

ACCESS TO MORE THAN 1 MILLION FACTS

All participants that provide us with data on their revenues will receive a free two-week Statista corporate subscription trial — irrespective of whether or not they are among the top 1,000 companies.

¹ The use of the label and the word-and-image logo “FT 1000: Europe’s Fastest Growing Companies 2024” for marketing purposes is subject to a one-off payment of a licence fee. Inclusion in the ranking, however, is completely free of charge.

  • Revenue of at least €100,000 generated in 2019¹

  • An independent entity (ie the company applying to participate is not a subsidiary or branch office of another company)

  • Headquartered in Europe²

  • No share price irregularities in the past 12 months³

    ³FT and Statista reserve the right to exclude companies that have experienced share price irregularities in the past 12 months or any other event that could affect the credibility of the list. For example, companies may be excluded if their share price drops 25 per cent over that period. We may also change the criteria at any point during the project’s lifetime.

In addition, companies with three or fewer employees, or companies that are not a legal entity, will be subject to additional checks to verify their revenue numbers.
