The application requires you to fill out a questionnaire. In addition to several questions regarding turnover and FTEs, you will also be asked about the sector in which the software company operates and its growth ambitions. All company data will be treated with the utmost care. The data will never be visible to third parties, except to the audit partner who must guarantee the accuracy of the list.
If the company is included in the Main Software 50 ranking, only a sub-segment with a general description of the company will be published. The remaining information, including financial data, is kept strictly confidential. When figures are published, it is always on an aggregate basis. This means that no identifiable information about an individual company can be derived from the communication (i.e., only averages, totals, etc.).
