French Publisher TapNation tops Financial Times FT1000 list of Europe’s Leaders in Tech Media

TapNation, a Paris-based leading mobile app publisher has been identified in the FT1000’s ranking of fastest-growing companies in Europe. TapNation, known for its work in the mobile app and gaming space, has ranked in the Top 14 of companies according to FT1000’s data provider Statista. Among the Media and Entertainment categories, TapNation has secured the number 1 ranking among all companies across Europe.
This announcement falls on the heels of a recent announcement that TapNation was also the Top ranked company of the esteemed Les Echos “Champions de la Croissance 2024” French ranking, representing the fastest-growing businesses in France. These accolades underscore TapNation’s commitment to innovation, growth, and excellence in the competitive mobile app industry.
A Leader in Mobile App Entertainment
These two recognitions followed a 2023 year of enormous growth for TapNation, which began with their selection for the French Tech 120 program, a government program that scales up promising new start ups within France’s tech space.
Additionally, earlier in January of this year, TapNation acquired UAHero, a leading monetization and user acquisition platform, as a subsidiary to diversify their presence in the mobile market. And even more recently, TapNation announced a 15M€ fundraising before signing a partnership with the Web3 platform Immutable to deliver new Web3 functionality for their player base.
“We are immensely proud of the work we’ve been able to accomplish over the last year,” says TapNation Co-founder , Hervé Montoute. “We are honored to be recognized as the Top ranked French company for business growth, and how that ranking reflects in our position within the broader European market. 2024 is on track to be our best year yet, and this distinction reflects the hard work of our teams and our dedication to excellence.”
“This distinction also supports the growth of France’s domestic game and entertainment industry, as we are deeply committed to supporting growing studios both domestically and beyond.”
As of 2024, TapNation games have surpassed over a billion downloads worldwide across multiple markets and genres.

Fast Track Expands Barcelona Hub to Attract Tech Talent

Fast Track is delighted to announce the expansion of its Barcelona Hub as part of the company’s strategy to attract specialised tech talent and support the organisation’s rapid growth.
Barcelona was selected for its exceptional talent pool, particularly in technology, as well as its international appeal and high quality of life. The city’s excellent connectivity to the rest of Europe also makes it an ideal hub for attracting and retaining top talent.
The new office is designed to support Fast Track’s scaling efforts by enabling greater cross-team collaboration and increasing organisational resilience. It also reinforces the company’s presence in mainland Europe.
“We’re excited to strengthen our presence in Europe by investing in a city that clearly reflects our values. Barcelona is international, innovative, and well suited for long-term growth. This is about bringing in exceptional talent who share our vision and want to grow with us,” says Simon Lidzén, Co-Founder and CEO at Fast Track.
Reflecting Fast Track’s culture and vision, the space feels more like a creative studio than a conventional office. It is open, bright, and built for collaboration, with shared spaces, breakout areas, and social zones that support both teamwork and individual productivity. The atmosphere is easy-going, energetic, and inclusive, true to Fast Track’s ethos.
The Barcelona office will initially host teams across product, engineering, marketing, and partner-facing functions. As Fast Track continues to grow, it will also become home to leadership roles and cross-functional teams.
Far from being a satellite location, Barcelona is set to become a key strategic hub for the company. With a booming tech ecosystem, growing investment, and a deepening talent pool, Spain is rapidly emerging as a major force in European innovation, making it a natural fit for Fast Track’s expansion.
