The Financial Times is currently planning the third edition of the FT 1000: Europe’s Fastest Growing Companies, to be published in March 2019.
The FT, in partnership with Statista, the German data provider, will seek to identify the 1,000 European companies with the strongest revenue growth between the years 2014 and 2017. 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.
In order for you to participate, we invite you to send us your revenue figures for the years 2014 and 2017 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 name forward at this website.
Why should my company participate?
NEW BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES
Inclusion in the list of the FT 1000 is a visible and public acknowledgment of your company’s performance that extends far beyond your specific industry and country. It will also generate attention for your business on the part of potential partners, customers, and investors around the world.
EMPLOYER BRANDING
Corporate growth usually generates demand for new employees. Being featured in the high-profile ranking of the FT 1000 will not only increase awareness of you as an employer, it also gives potential employees an understanding of your company’s future potential.
EFFECTIVE 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. While the full ranking will be published online, FT reporters will focus on particularly interesting companies, sectors and trends in the articles of a special report that will appear in both print and on FT.com.
REPUTATION
All companies that make it into the list may use the award logo for marketing purposes
