Eleving Group Ranked 41st Fastest-Growing European Company in the last decade by Financial Times

Eleving Group is ranked 41st overall and 3rd in the Fintech, Financial Services, and Insurance category. It is the only Latvian company on the entire ‘Europe's Long-Term Growth Champions 2025’ list and the highest-ranked company from the Baltics.

Eleving Group has distinguished itself in a highly competitive arena, demonstrating fast, organic, and consistent growth despite the turbulent economic period of the last decade. During this period, the company's turnover increased from EUR 3m in 2013 to more than EUR 189m in 2023, marking an increase of over 6200%.

Eleving Group has been particularly successful from 2016 to 2023, when the company showed an overall portfolio growth of 26%, thus rapidly increasing both turnover and profit.

‘Europe's Long-Term Growth Champions 2025’ list ranks the top 300 companies in Europe based on their percentage revenue growth between 2013 and 2023. To be considered for this ranking, companies must have met several criteria: they must have their headquarters in Europe, generate at least EUR 100k in revenue in 2013, and reach at least EUR 10m in revenue by 2023. Additionally, their revenue growth during this period must be primarily organic.

The study was carried out by the world-renowned British business newspaper Financial Times in collaboration with Statista, a German online platform that specializes in data gathering and visualization. It cements the ranks’ credibility as one of the most recognized growth benchmarks in Europe.
