We are looking for the super performing and most interesting companies right now in the European Digital Economy. Although we are basing the TOP 50 list on ranking by revenue growth, our highly esteemed jury will look at other qualitative measures such as traffic, users, uniqueness of business model and product.

The jury reserves itself to make a qualitative assessment of the numbers provided and may come back and ask for more information. Revenue numbers will not made public.

The judges will then invite a selection of the listed companies to present to them in Paris on 14 May 2014. These 10 companies will  compete for a couple of awards on the criteria above and beyond pure revenue growth.
