France tops the charts<\/h1>\n

All three of the top awarded French startups in the Fast 50<\/a> placed among the top 10 in Europe, with Deezer at #7 and Sewan Communications at #10. In addition, France, for the third consecutive year, had the most companies in the 500 list, beating out the UK(74) with \u00a090 companies, down 3 from last year. Not many companies saw growth between 2011 and 2012 in number of companies on the Fast 500 (Norway +4 at 52, Poland +6 at 21), which suggests all European countries are producing more & more high-growth companies.
\nThe software industry was most present in the Fast 500, with 40% of the companies operating in the software industry, followed by 21% Internet, 17% in TelCo., and 8% in Semiconductors.
