Global accounting and consulting firm Deloitte has kicked off the scouting process for the next Middle East edition of its Technology FAST 50 Program.

Now in its fourth cycle, the Technology FAST 50 Program places the spotlights on the fastest-growing young technology firms in the Middle East. Just like last year, Cyprus is included in the contest. Globally, the program is one of Deloitte’s longest-standing competitions for start-ups and scale-ups – it was launched in 1997 and is today held annually in over 50 countries.

Technology companies across the Middle East and Cyprus are invited to participate in the 2025 edition. The window for registration will close in the coming two months.

The program focusses on companies operating in industries like communications, digital commerce, rducation technology, environmental technology, financial technology, hardware, healthcare and life sciences, media and entertainment.

“Following the impressive results reflected in the previous edition, we continue to track a remarkable growth pattern in the region’s tech industry, and we expect that to show in the fourth edition of Fast 50,” said Scott Whalan, partner at Deloitte and in charge of the regional competition.

“From start-ups making big leaps with innovation to large companies that have successfully grown and pushed the bar to new heights in the tech ecosystem, Deloitte renews its commitment to support this thriving ecosystem and shed light on success stories that are contributing to our region’s economies.”

Winners of the competition will be announced in five different categories: Technology Fast 50, Rising Star, Impact, Women in Leadership and Kiyadat (a new category introduced to recognize companies that are led by local talent across GCC markets).
