Deloitte recently released the 2009 Technology Fast 500(TM), an annual ranking of the fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications, life sciences and clean technology companies in North America based on five-year fiscal revenue growth.
“Deloitte’s Technology Fast 500(TM) identifies some of the most promising technology companies in North America today,” said Phil Asmundson, vice chairman and U.S. Technology, Media & Telecommunications leader, Deloitte LLP.
Deloitte added clean technology as a new category in 2009 and seven companies from the sector achieved rankings, comprising just over 1 percent of the overall list. These companies include:
– SunPower Corporation (www.sunpower.com)
– GT Solar International, Inc. (www.gtsolar.com)
– Pentadyne Power Corporation (www.pentadyne.com)
– Energy Recovery, Inc. (www.energyrecovery.com)
– Evergreen Solar, Inc. (www.evergreensolar.com)
– Satcon Technology Corporation (www.satcon.com)
– FuelCell Energy (www.fuelcellenergy.com)
“Clean technology is clearly the sector attracting the most interest from VCs,” said Jensen. “Many companies in this sector are still very young, but we expect to see them become an increasing presence on our list in years to come.”
