  • Over $3.8 bn raised in funding across the 77 companies, including more than $1.5 bn in 2016

  • A string of alumni companies that are household names including Zoopla and Just Eat.

Greg Clark, Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, said: “The UK has a world-renowned tech and digital sector and the value of the Future Fifty programme has been to support the fastest-growing, most pioneering companies in their final push to build mainstream businesses. The fact that so many Future Fifty companies are now household names is testimony that it works.”

Salvador Garcia and Juan Lobato, Co-CEOs & Co-Founders at Ebury, said: “Joining the Future Fifty Programme is a great opportunity for Ebury to access the expertise within government as well as other Future Fifty companies. We see this as a network that could help us grow rapidly and better serve our clients.”
