A little over a month ago we teamed up with global payments technology provider Adyen to kick off the second edition of The European Tech5.

Our aim was to identify Europe’s fastest-growing young tech companies. After receiving a ton of submissions and screening more than a hundred companies across six countries in Europe, the finalists have emerged and the lists are ready.

The Tech5 lists are based on actual revenue and employee data and shows the growth rate between 2012 and 2015. The main entry criteria for the Tech5 were that a company must have launched in 2010 or later, have generated more than €200,000 in revenue (2014), and build its own (scalable) product or service driven by technology.

Featured here are some exciting new names and some returning greats. They provide a snapshot of where success can be found in different ecosystems, and how to achieve it.
