AI company Everseen topped the 2020 list, which ranks Ireland’s fastest-growing technology firms.
Cork-based company Everseen, which develops computer vision and AI tech for some of the world’s largest retailers, has taken the top spot in the 2020 Deloitte Technology Fast 50 awards.
The annual awards rank Ireland’s 50 fastest-growing technology companies based on revenue growth over the last four years.
Reacting to the win, Everseen CEO Alan O’Herlihy said: “I’m thrilled to get this recognition of our company’s success.
Cumulatively, the 2020 Fast 50 listed firms recorded €3.3 billion in total annual revenues and employed over 4,600 people in 2019.
32 of the companies are Leinster-based, with 11 from Ulster and 8 from Munster. Overall, 10 counties are represented in the 2020 listing.
The longstanding Deloitte Fast 50 acknowledges revenue growth over a four-year period, though not profit.
Two of the top five winners from the North, fourth-placed Catagen (Antrim) and fifth-placed Foods Connected (Derry).
The vast majority of the winners are software firms, with a handful of communications and life sciences companies.
Overall winner Everseen also won a sub-category in the awards process, Deloitte’s ‘Innovative New Technology’ award in association with Google.
