The Financial Times FT1000, in collaboration with Statista, ranks the 1,000 fastest-growing companies across Europe, drawing from thousands of candidates identified through company databases and open sources. The methodology is objective and rigorous: companies are ranked purely by CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) in revenue and must demonstrate that growth was primarily organic and independent, with no benefit from mergers, acquisitions, or parent company support.
In 2026, i-charging ranked #17 globally across all 1,000 companies, #1 within its sector, and #1 in Portugal, a result that speaks for itself.
The Deloitte Technology Fast 500 EMEA is one of the most respected rankings for technology companies in the region, celebrating innovation, entrepreneurship, and rapid revenue growth, with entrants from more than 20 countries across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Companies are ranked purely on verified percentage revenue growth over three years and must demonstrate proprietary intellectual property that directly drives their revenues.
Ranking #1 across this entire region is a testament to the extraordinary pace at which i-charging has grown and the depth of the opportunity we are pursuing in the EV infrastructure market.
European Competitive Strategy Leadership Award — EV Ultra-fast and Megawatt Charging
Frost & Sullivan awarded i-charging its prestigious European Competitive Strategy Leadership Award for Excellence in EV Ultra-fast and Megawatt Charging, recognising our outstanding achievements in innovation, strategic execution, and customer impact within the ultra-fast and megawatt charging landscape.
Frost & Sullivan evaluates companies through a rigorous benchmarking process across two core dimensions: strategy effectiveness and strategy execution. i-charging excelled in both, demonstrating an ability to align its digital-first strategy with evolving market demands while executing with agility, precision, and scalability. This award affirms our position as the strategic leader in one of the most demanding and technically complex segments of EV charging.
Global Leader & Top Innovator in Commercial EV Charging
ABI Research, a leading global technology intelligence firm, named i-charging a Global Leader and Top Innovator in Commercial EV Charging. Their in-depth assessment evaluated our product capabilities, innovation approach, and market strategy across several key dimensions, including: charger power and efficiency, flexibility, software integration, serviceability, and market reach.
This independent evaluation reflects our ongoing commitment to supporting the electrification of transport, particularly in commercial and heavy-duty vehicle segments, through intelligent design, modular architecture, and a strong focus on customer needs. Being recognised as a global leader by ABI Research confirms that i-charging’s approach to scalable, efficient, and future-ready charging infrastructure is setting the benchmark for the industry.
The PME Inovação COTEC-BPI distinction recognises Portuguese SMEs that demonstrate a genuine and sustained commitment to innovation as a driver of competitiveness and growth. Companies are evaluated through Innovation Scoring®, a rigorous proprietary model developed by COTEC Portugal, combined with financial analysis and an on-site assessment visit, with a final decision made by a high-level jury of university, research, and industry representatives.
i-charging’s inclusion in this program reflects our culture of continuous R&D investment and our determination to push the boundaries of what EV charging technology can achieve.
Returning to the Fast 50 ranking the following year, i-charging secured #2 in Portugal in 2025, confirming that our growth is not a one-off event, but the result of a business model built on solid foundations, recurring demand, and a product portfolio that continues to win in the market year after year.
The Deloitte Technology Fast 50 Portugal identifies and honours the 50 fastest-growing technology companies in the country, ranked on verified revenue growth over three years, rewarding genuine, sustained commercial traction over perception or self-reported metrics. In 2024, i-charging ranked #1 in Portugal, a recognition that marked a turning point in our trajectory as one of Europe’s most dynamic technology companies.
Best Startup in Portugal
ScaleUp Portugal recognised i-charging as the best startup in the country, a milestone that reflects our rapid growth, bold vision, and the strength of the team driving it. This recognition placed us among Portugal’s most promising companies and marked a defining moment in our journey toward global leadership in EV charging.
Awarded by the German Design Council, one of the world’s most authoritative design institutions, the German Design Award in the “Excellent Product Design — Public Design” category honours products that combine aesthetic with real-world functionality. i-charging’s blueberry was recognised for setting a new standard in how public charging infrastructure looks, feels, and performs.
The German Innovation Award distinguishes products and solutions that redefine their categories through genuine innovation. i-charging received the Excellence recognition in the Business-to-Business segment for E-Mobility Technologies, affirming the competitive edge and technical sophistication of our charging ecosystem in demanding commercial environments.
Charging Equipment and Software Development
The E-Mobility Awards evaluate applicants across the entire spectrum of the electric mobility sector, with entries assessed by an independent expert judging panel on the basis of ingenuity, innovation, and real-world achievement.
i-charging was recognised for outstanding achievement in both Charging Equipment and Software Development, two pillars that define our integrated approach. Being selected in two categories simultaneously, across such a broad and competitive field, reflects both the technical depth and the coherence of vision that define our ecosystem.
