Europe’s 500 is the European organization and networking platform for growth companies and their entrepreneurs.

Since 1996 Europe’s 500 has been selecting and publishing the list of the top growth companies in Europe and organizes its annual conference “The European Growth Summit” for the European growth entrepreneurs, and has been awarding them for their outstanding achievements in generating sustainable growth and jobs. Since 2009 Dun & Bradstreet has supported Europe's 500 with creating the list of the top 500 growth companies in Europe.
