Datapao Named to the Financial Times FT1000 for the Third Consecutive Year

We are proud to share that Datapao has been named to the Financial Times FT1000 – Europe’s Fastest Growing Companies 2026 ranking — marking our third consecutive year on the list.

Compiled annually by the Financial Times in collaboration with Statista, the FT1000 recognises the fastest-growing companies across Europe based on revenue performance. Being included once is an achievement. Being included three years in a row reflects something deeper: sustained growth, consistency, and long-term impact.

Growth Built on Enterprise Data & AI Transformation

Founded in 2016, Datapao has evolved into an international Data & AI consultancy focused on building scalable, enterprise-grade data platforms and AI systems.

Over the past several years, we have:

• Designed and implemented modern cloud-based data platforms across Europe and the UK
• Delivered production-ready AI and GenAI solutions in complex and regulated industries
• Expanded our presence with delivery hubs in the United Kingdom and Central Europe
• Continued investing in enterprise education to build internal data and AI capabilities for our clients

Our growth has not been driven by hype cycles, but by helping organisations move from experimentation to production, from pilots to scalable systems.

Máté Gulyás, CEO of Datapao, commented:

“Being recognised for the third year in a row is more than a growth milestone. It reflects consistency, resilience, and long-term impact,” said Mate Gulyas, CEO of Datapao. “This recognition highlights our team’s technical excellence, the trust of our clients, and our strategic focus on building scalable, enterprise-grade Data and AI platforms across Europe.”

Backed by Databricks and a Gold Partner

Our trajectory has been further strengthened by strategic investment from Databricks, one of the world’s leading data and AI platform companies.

We are proud to be both a Databricks-backed company and a Databricks Gold Partner, working closely within the ecosystem to deliver modern data architectures and AI-powered solutions at enterprise scale.

This partnership reflects a shared belief: that sustainable AI transformation requires robust data foundations, production-grade engineering, and measurable business impact.

What Sustained Growth in AI Really Means

Datapao designs and implements modern cloud-based data platforms, advanced analytics environments, and production-ready AI and GenAI solutions, particularly in complex and regulated industries.

Key drivers behind its sustained growth include:

• Strategic enterprise data platform implementations in the UK
• Deep expertise in Databricks-powered modern data architectures
• Enterprise training programs building internal data and AI capabilities
• A strong focus on delivery excellence and measurable business impact

“Our ambition isn’t just growth,” added Gulyas. “We are building data and AI systems that last, platforms that create real operational and strategic value for our clients.”
