We are proud to announce that Sláinte Healthcare ranked number three in the 2013 Deloitte Technology Fast 50, a ranking of the 50 fastest growing technology companies in Ireland. Rankings are based on average percentage revenue growth over five years.

We were delighted to attend the awards in Belfast’s Titanic Building last Friday, November 8th where Paul Lee, Head of Global Research for Technology, Media and Telecommunications at Deloitte was keynote speaker.

The Fast 50 programme, now in its fourteenth year in Ireland, ranks the fastest growing technology companies in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. The average growth rate of the Fast 50 companies named in this year’s ranking is 361%.

Announcing the winners of the Technology Fast 50 programme, Richard Howard, Partner with Deloitte, Dublin said: “The confidence that the Fast 50 companies have in terms of expanding abroad is particularly apparent this year. Over the course of the programme in Ireland we have observed many Fast 50 participants being acquired by larger multinationals. However we are now seeing an emerging trend of Irish companies looking to acquire abroad, either to enhance their intellectual property or grow their sales channel. This trend demonstrates the maturing of the technology sector in Ireland and shows the possibility of creating truly global companies here.”

The awards took place in the Titanic building in Belfast on Friday 8 November. Paul Lee, Head of Global Research for Technology, Media and Telecommunications at Deloitte was keynote speaker at the event.
