Deloitte is calling on the most innovative and rapidly growing technology scale-ups across Cambridgeshire and the East of England to apply for the firm’s prestigious UK Technology Fast 50. Applications for this year's programme are officially open from today.

The annual ranking celebrates the fastest-growing tech companies across the UK, based on average revenue growth over a three-year period. Last year’s Technology Fast 50 winners had a collective average three-year growth rate of 1,905% and generated total revenues of £2.41 billion in 2024/25.

Cambridge-based decarbonisation company Levidian placed 16th in last year’s ranking with a three-year growth rate of 2,030%. It also scooped the CleanTech award, which recognises climate technology companies within the Fast 50 for their contribution to the UK’s net zero target.

Ellie Galanis, commercial director at Levidian said: “We were delighted to be recognised as a regional winner in the Deloitte Fast 50 - it’s a strong validation of the progress we’re making in scaling a breakthrough technology and building real commercial momentum.

“The recognition has helped enhance our visibility and credibility with customers and partners, particularly in emerging areas like advanced materials and decarbonisation. I’d strongly encourage other tech businesses to apply - it’s an excellent platform to showcase growth, innovation, and ambition.”

Julian Rae, Deloitte Cambridge office senior partner and emerging growth lead for the UK said: “Our region is home to some of the most enterprising and forward-looking companies in the country. As part of my involvement in this programme, I've been struck by the ingenuity, drive and ambition that our entrants demonstrate.

“Securing a spot on the Fast 50 ranking offers a unique opportunity to create new opportunities for investment and partnerships; elevate your profile and credibility within the competitive tech landscape; and position your company as an employer of choice for top tech professionals.”
