Dublin startups highlighted in Deloitte’s list of 50 Fastest Growing Tech Companies

Deloitte announced this past week its 50 Fastest Growing Technology Companies, placing a spotlight on a number of innovators based in Dublin.

Now in its 27^th year, the organization’s Technology Fast 50^™ program recognizes the world-class achievements of leading technology companies—highlighting their commitment to innovation, strong leadership, and rapid revenue growth.

Said a representative from Deloitte, “These remarkable companies have positioned themselves as growth leaders in their respective sectors, paving the way as catalysts and setting new benchmarks for success. We are proud to celebrate their achievements and recognize them as the driving force behind the country’s technological advancement and economic prosperity.”

According to Deloitte’s annual survey of Technology Fast 50 program executive leaders, the top ranked challenge facing the fastest-growing technology companies is attracting and retaining a qualified workforce, followed closely by developing new products and services and expanding globally.

Furthermore, with over 97% of technology companies planning on investing in IT in the next year, the survey shows that generative AI has gained momentum in only a year.

While 67% of respondents indicated that the technology is a generational innovation comparable to the internet, more than four in ten (44%) said they are already deploying it in their own businesses, compared to 24% of the companies surveyed in 2023.

One of the Dublin-based companies featured in the list, Sim Local, is the global leader in travel SIM card and eSIM retail, catering to global travelers so they can stay connected and avoid expensive roaming charges. Founded by Killian Whelan, the company was quick to spot the need for better mobile solutions for travelers.

Fast forward to 2024, and Sim local has a presence in over 100 airports that are supporting millions of individuals to stay connected. The fast growing enterprise sells SIM cards and downloadable eSIMs directly to customers through local retail stores, kiosks, vending machines, its mobile application, and its online store.

This is but one of the fast growing companies highlighted by Deloitte.

Additional companies on Deloitte’s the list include AccountsIQ, Aerlytic, Alchemy, Barclay Communications, and Kneat.
