Gcore has been recognized as one of the top 100 fastest-growing technology startups in France and Benelux by Sifted — one of Europe's leading tech publications. Our inclusion in the B2B SaaS & Cloud Infrastructure category points to rising demand for sovereign, high-performance European cloud infrastructure, something our edge distribution platform is built to help address.
What the Sifted 100 ranking means
The Sifted 100 is one of Europe's most rigorous startup rankings. Compiled by a team of journalists and analysts at Sifted, it identifies companies combining strong revenue growth, market relevance, and strategic momentum across the France and Benelux region.
Ranking 89th out of 100 shortlisted companies, Gcore joins the list as a new entrant. The recognition spans the B2B SaaS & Cloud Infrastructure category, where competition is defined by technical depth, global reach, and the ability to serve enterprise customers at scale.
Why edge distribution is winning: the platform Gcore built
The cloud market is consolidating around a fundamental truth: proximity to end users and data sources matters. Latency, data sovereignty, and resilience cannot be solved by centralized hyperscaler regions alone. Gcore's edge distribution platform is built on this premise — and the Sifted 100 inclusion confirms that market demand has caught up.
The Gcore platform spans four interconnected capability areas:
Aligned with the market. Built for what's next.
The Sifted 100 recognition is significant not as an end point, but as external validation of the direction we have been building toward. Enterprise cloud infrastructure is shifting from centralized, legacy models to distributed, edge-first architectures. AI workloads demand low-latency inference at the point of consumption. Security threats are growing faster than perimeter-based defenses can absorb them.
Gcore's platform is built to address each of these vectors simultaneously — through a single infrastructure partner with global scale and European roots.
