6% employee growth in 12 months
Our take
Amsterdam-based The Next Web (TNW) is an event and media company focused on highlighting new technology and startups in Europe.
Since its inception in 2006, the company has grown to become one of Europe's major event holders, attracting an average of 15,000 attendees from around 3,500 companies to its annual events. While its media site generates around 7M monthly visitors, establishing itself as one of the largest and most critically acclaimed tech startup events in Europe.
Acquired by The Financial Times in 2019, this acquisition granted The Next Web added exposure within the European technology sector, allowing the Amsterdam startup to increase its presence and tap into a once-locked audience.
