Financial Times Report 2025: Inova Semiconductors among Europe's fastest growing companies

Inova achieved 9th place in the Electrical Manufacturing category

Munich, Germany, April 02, 2025 – Inova Semiconductors is one of the 1,000 fastest growing companies in Europe. This is according to the ninth edition of the annual "Europe's Fastest Growing Companies 2025" special report published by the Financial Times in collaboration with market research firm Statista. The renowned FT 1000 ranking lists the top European companies that achieved the highest percentage revenue growth between 2020 and 2023. The Munich-based semiconductor company is listed in the industry category Electrical Manufacturing and ranks 9th within this category. Among the 158 German companies in the ranking, Inova Semiconductors is listed in 116th place. “We are honored to be included in the FT 1000 ranking of the Financial Times,” says Robert Isele, CEO of Inova Semiconductors. ”This success is a recognition of the commitment and hard work of our team and the confidence our customers have in Inova Semiconductors. Being recognized as one of Europe's fastest growing companies is an endorsement of our commitment to innovation and excellence.” The companies listed in the FT 1000 Special Report are characterized not only by rapid growth, but also by organic and therefore sustainable growth. These companies have one thing in common: they have outperformed their European competitors through exemplary growth – an achievement made even more impressive by the fact that it was accomplished during the years of the Covid-19 pandemic. The criteria for inclusion in the ranking are companies had to be headquartered in Europe, have a revenue of at least 100,000 Euro in 2020 and a revenue of at least 1.5 million Euro in 2023. The revenue growth between 2020 and 2023 had to be primarily organic and the company had to be independent in its business decisions. This means that it was not allowed to receive any financial benefits from a parent company. The FT 1000 Special Report “Europe's Fastest Growing Companies 2025” was published in the Financial Times on March 27, 2025.
