Deloitte Technology Fast 50 Australia 2011 PDF
Now in its 11th year, the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 program ranks 50 of Australias fastest-growing public or private technology companies, based on percentage revenue growth over three years (2009 to 2011). The program includes the following related industry sectors: Communications/networking Software Semiconductors, components and electronics Biotech, pharmaceutical and medical equipment Internet Computers and peripherals. The Deloitte Technology Fast 50 is part of a global Fast 500 series of programs. The Deloitte Technology Fast 500 Asia-Pacific program recognises technology companies that have achieved the fastest rates of annual revenue growth in the Asia-Pacific region during the past three years, including those based in Australia, China, Hong Kong SAR, India, Indonesia, Japan, Macau SAR, Malaysia, the Philippines, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam. While Deloitte does have existing relationships with some of the entities on the list, this does not influence nor affect the outcome of the final Technology Fast 50 list, which is judged on percentage revenue growth. Technology companies are invited to nominate themselves for the Deloitte Australia Technology Fast 50 list via our website. Financial data about the top 50 companies is provided by the entrants gathered via our online survey tool, DTermine, and is cross-checked using each companys financial statements, which have been verified by their accountants or a registered auditor.
