I analyzed the recent FT1000: Europe’s Fastest-Growing Companies 2026 ranking, enriched it with company Linkedin profiles and converted the dataset into a CSV file.

It can be easily explored, filtered or used for research, market analysis or sales prospecting.

A few quick observations from the data:

• France leads the ranking with 252 companies, followed by Germany (189), the UK (176) and Italy (136).
• IT & Software dominates the list with 200+ companies, but sectors such as fintech, energy and ecommerce are also strongly represented.
• UK companies show the highest median growth rate (~59% CAGR) among the largest countries.
• Nearly half of the companies in the ranking were founded after 2015.
