Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu has compiled a list of the 50 fastest-growing tech firms in Japan [JP, PDF], and it’s quite interesting. The so-called Nippon Technology FAST50 was released yesterday by the company’s Tokyo subsidiary, and I took the liberty to fully translate the list.
Deloitte says the ranking is based on sales growth over the last three years and only companies that agreed to be included are in the list (which is not really great, but OK). The No. 1 is a web service: Mobile gaming platform GREE‘s sales have skyrocketed almost 27 times over the last three years (+2,636%).
Here’s the complete list (along with links to the English homepages whenever available).
