The annual list, compiled by Éanna Kelly, a contributing editor at Sifted, highlights the 100 fastest-growing firms in the DACH and CEE regions. Flowpay's impressive ascent to the top spot comes after it acquired four companies within its first eight months of operation. The company has recently secured €36 million in funding to expand its reach and invest in a Berlin-based AI rollup strategy for German tax advisers. Meanwhile, Revolut, the fintech giant, is on the verge of obtaining a US banking licence, with hopes to launch in the American market next year.",
