Bridge Technologies has been listed as one of the fastest-growing technology companies in Europe, the Middle East and Africa by Deloitte Touche Tomatsu (DTT). The Deloitte Technology Fast 500 EMEA is one of Europe's most objective rankings for the technology, media, and telecommunications industries, recognizing the 500 fastest-growing technology companies in all areas of technology, from Internet to biotechnology, and from medical and scientific to computers. Awards are based on the five-year average percentage growth for each technology company. With an accumulated five-year growth of an amazing 2,303.63%, Bridge Technologies sets a new standard within the digital TV industry.

“To be ranked 63rd in the top 500 fastest-growing technology companies across the region is quite an achievement for such a young organization,” said Simen K. Frostad, chairman, Bridge Technologies. “Our rapid growth reflects the excellence of the people in the company, the outstanding innovative solutions we provide, and the continually increasing demand for the monitoring tools we offer to the media industry. And as Deloitte points out, it’s especially remarkable that Fast 500 winners have achieved this growth in the current business climate.”
