The Deloitte Fast 500 Awards are run and moderated by Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu. The awards were created in 1997 during the dotcom boom to illustrate the success of growing United States technology companies. Today, the Fast 500 has expanded out from the US, runs worldwide but is still limited to technology companies.
The Fast 500 examines companies on the relative growth in revenue over a five-year period. A company which grew by $1million from a revenue of $2million will rank below a company which grew by $500,000 from a revenue of $100,000. The Fast 500 seeks to reward companies with cutting edge business strategies, vision and solid management.
The Fast 500 has three main International divisions:
- European Fast 500
- North America Fast 500
- Asia-Pacific Fast 500
The Fast 50 is a subset of the Fast 500 and represents an inner circle of winners.
