e27 recognised among Financial Times’ fastest-growing companies in APAC

e27 has been recognised by the Financial Times as one of the fastest-growing companies in APAC for 2025. This is the first time we’ve made the list and it is a honour and privilege. We have been diligently executing our Mission to create platforms that curate information and connect stakeholders, driving the sustainable growth of the Southeast Asia tech ecosystem over the past years and this recognition comes just after our biggest year ever.

The Financial Times, in collaboration with Statista, employs a rigorous evaluation method to spotlight APAC companies achieving exceptional growth based on compound annual growth rates (CAGR) from 2020 to 2023. Qualifying companies are required to demonstrate significant organic revenue growth, with a minimum revenue of US$100,000 in 2020 and US$1 million in 2023.

During COVID-19, we made a challenging transition from a pure events-only play to a hybrid offline and online business matching and ecosystem engagement platform. The last four years have been a good partnership between our clients, stakeholders and the ecosystem in figuring out what ecosystem building means today and how we can continue to support and develop financially sustainable companies.

Our growth has been driven by our passion to engage and support the SEA tech ecosystem and actively collaboration with the regional stakeholders towards creating impactful and sustainable programs.

Today, e27 offers a multitude of programs and services including:

• Echelon Singapore and Echelon Philippines, which is now the largest event platform in Southeast Asia for startups, SMEs, corporates, governments, and investors, designed to deliver impactful insights and forge meaningful connections.
• Flux, an intimate event with a workshop and masterclass format helping to educate the next generation of SME and Startup leaders.
• Innovation Programs across Southeast Asia with global companies such as Meta, Prudence Foundation, Branch to foster ecosystem partnerships and engagement activities between corporates and startups.
• Thought leadership content, access to startups and investor information across e27.co and our social channels to inspire and educate Founders. Our Contributor Programme, which is a strong community program between ecosystem stakeholders and e27, continues to power high quality thought leadership content for the SEA tech ecosystem.

None of this would have been possible without the amazing team at e27 and their passion and dedication towards wanting a better SEA tech ecosystem.

We will continue to push hard and our end Vision is a unified Southeast Asia tech ecosystem that drives collaboration, innovation, and global leadership.
