Speaking at the launch of this year’s programme, James Toomey, partner and Fast 50 programme lead at Deloitte (pictured), said: “As we celebrate 25 years of Deloitte’s Technology Fast 50 awards, it is an opportunity to reflect on the extraordinary growth of Ireland’s indigenous technology sector and the ongoing presence and contribution of large tech companies that call Ireland home.

“Even though there are challenges, Ireland’s indigenous technology sector continues to exhibit robust growth in 2024. Cloud computing, cybersecurity and data analytics are all areas that are rapidly expanding amid increased investment in artificial intelligence and greater reliance on cloud infrastructure.”

The closing date for entries is 27 September 2024 and the winners will be announced at a ceremony in Dublin on 28 November 2024.
