Works.
The 2016 Inc. 5000 Europe list, unveiled on www.inc.com, includes infographics and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, region, and other criteria. It serves as a unique report card on the European economy: despite the sluggish economic climate, aggregate revenue among the companies on the list actually increased to €110 billion, up from €40 billion in 2011, with an average three-year growth rate of 226%.
This year’s list also offers rare insight into which industries fared the best during a difficult stretch for Europe’s economy. With average growth rates of over 227% percent, Security and Telecommunications ranked as the fastest-growing industries, followed by Education, at 220%. Manufacturing is the top industry by total revenue (€15.4 billion), and Advertising & Marketing companies claimed 4 of the top ten spots.

President and Editor-In-Chief Eric Schurenberg. “We are proud to recognize the Inc. 5000 Europe for their ingenuity, creativity, and tenacity—qualities that have always united entrepreneurs around the world.
