‼️𝗧𝗢𝗣 𝟮𝟱𝟬 𝗜𝗡𝗦𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧 𝗥𝗘𝗣𝗢𝗥𝗧: 𝟭𝟬𝗧𝗛 𝗔𝗡𝗡𝗜𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗦𝗔𝗥𝗬 𝗘𝗗𝗜𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗜𝗦 𝗢𝗙𝗙𝗜𝗖𝗜𝗔𝗟𝗟𝗬 𝗢𝗨𝗧‼️ Celebrating 10 years of research into the companies driving growth across the Netherlands and the lessons they have shared along the way.  Built on a decade of evidence from hundreds of high-growth firms, this 10th edition provides a snapshot of the industry leaders shaping today's entrepreneurial ecosystem. The report explores the trends that will define our future, including the rise of Shadow AI, the growing dominance of mature scaleups over young startups and the implications of Amsterdam's increasingly concentrated innovation landscape. Being part of the 2026 cohort, that made it into the 250 fastest growing firms in the Netherlands, means being recognized in the same league as iconic Dutch growers such as Tony's Chocolonely, Fastned, Mews, Picnic Technologies and Action. Our selection follows a rigorous weighting of our absolute and relative growth in turnover and FTEs between 2022 and 2025. We are honoured to contribute to an ecosystem that has collectively created over 179,000 jobs since 2021. Watch the video to hear directly from Top 250 alumni Pleun Opperman, Sonja Meijerink, Jack Stuifbergen, Pascal Walk as they unpack their scaling challenges, share actionable advice and discuss the future of the ecosystem.
