LIMERICK, Ireland – May 22, 2025 — Kneat has been placed in Deloitte’s new EMEA Technology Fast 500 list, which recognizes the 500 fastest growing technology companies across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
The EMEA Technology Fast 500 ranking is based on percentage revenue growth over four years, using data submitted directly by companies and verified by Deloitte. ”The EMEA Fast 500 ranking is a celebration of what’s possible when ambition meets execution. In a context of rapid change and economic pressure, these companies are not only growing — they’re redefining what innovation looks like in the EMEA region,” said Duncan Down, Partner at Deloitte.
Kneat is one of 20 Irish companies who have made the list. “The Deloitte EMEA Technology Fast 500 highlights the strength of Ireland’s domestic tech sector and the extraordinary abilities of our entrepreneurs,” Deloitte partner James Toomey said.
Kneat was also recognized at the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 Awards, winning the Scale Up Award and ranking in the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 list in 2024 — for the fourth consecutive year. The annual award ranks Ireland’s top 50 technology companies by year-over-year revenue growth. Kneat’s consecutive ranking in this list from 2021 highlights the company’s continued growth.
Quality, Innovation, and Customer-First Focus
