Call for Entries: Europe’s Long-Term Growth Champions 2026

For many years, the Financial Times and its research partner, Statista, have been compiling rankings of companies with the fastest growing revenues over three-year periods.

But how many of these businesses have gone on to sustain their growth — for an entire decade?

For our second annual ranking of Europe’s Long-Term Growth Champions, the FT is inviting companies with a record of consistent revenue growth over ten years, or more, to register for consideration.

Registration takes only a few minutes and can be carried out using this online form. At this stage, you need only provide the company’s revenue figures for 2014 and 2024 (optionally for the years in between); the number of employees in 2014 and 2024; and the founding year.
