Accedo Selected for the Tech Tour Growth 50 Stockholm, 19 March 2015

Accedo, the global market leader in TV application solutions, today announced that it has been selected for the prestigious Tech Tour Growth 50, a list of high growth, successful European tech companies.

The Tech Tour organisation, together with a range of renowned experts, advisors and VCs, has selected the 50 best companies in Europe from a list of more than 350 companies. A number of criteria including company size, growth rate, and continued promise to be a disruptive force in their market niche were important for the scoring.

We're thrilled to be selected for the Tech Tour Growth 50, which gives recognition to the hard work and dedication from the Accedo team over the past years, commented Michael Lantz, CEO, Accedo. We're especially excited to see the strong presence from Swedish companies on the list, where Accedo, Klarna and Spotify are examples of the healthy start-up community here.

William Stevens, Managing Director, Tech Tour, commented We are building more and bigger tech companies in Europe at a faster rate than ever. The multi-billion dollar success stories that grab our attention via public market listings or sales to much larger companies are, however, just the tip of the iceberg. Through the Tech Tour Growth 50, we wanted to shine a light on the rest of Europe's high-tech, high-growth businesses. In the last decade Tech Tour Growth 50 Companies alone have created over 15,000 tech jobs.
