WPS ranks 253 on the Financial Times Europe’s Fast Growing Companies 2026

We are proud to share that we have been listed amongst the Financial Times 1000 Europe’s Fastest Growing Companies for 2026. In its 10^th Edition this year, the FT1000 is an annual list published by the Financial Times in collaboration with research firm Statista that showcases 1,000 European companies with the highest revenue growth over three years from 2021 to 2024. We were ranked 253^rd, with 363% absolute growth over the same period.

What makes the FT1000 ranking distinctive is its focus on rapid, organic growth rather than size alone; companies must be independently headquartered in Europe and must have generated at least €100,000 in revenue in 2021 and €1.5 million in 2024 to qualify. The list is then ordered by compound annual growth rate (CAGR), with a required minimum growth rate of about 34.8% to be included.

The FT1000 ranking provides a snapshot of Europe’s dynamic business landscape, highlighting fast-growing firms across a wide range of sectors, from IT and software to energy, fintech, construction and marketing services from 33 European countries. It is widely regarded as a benchmark of commercial success in Europe, a platform that provides international visibility to rapidly scaling businesses and helps investors, partners and customers identify emerging leaders in their industries.

This is another prestigious accolade to add to our ever-growing list of recognitions. We have previously received awards for low-carbon products and continued growth, including The Sunday Times 100, ISEP (Institute of Sustainability & Environmental Professionals, previously IEMA) Sustainability Impact Award, and AEE (Association of Energy Engineers in the USA).
