Financial Times & Statista name Virta Europe’s long-term growth champion

On October 29, 2025, the Financial Times and data provider Statista released their ranking of Europe's fastest-growing companies from 2014 to 2024. Virta features prominently among them.

Virta, a leading electric vehicle (EV) charging and energy platform company, has demonstrated continuous growth year after year. During the period of 2014 to 2024, the company achieved an impressive CAGR of 87%. This performance earned Virta the number one position in the long-term growth comparison of European companies. 

“The ‘Europe’s Long-Term Growth Champions’ ranking, led by Virta, is especially relevant today because it highlights the European companies that have achieved the highest sustained revenue growth throughout a turbulent decade, demonstrating resilience and innovation. In an era of modest economic growth and rising global uncertainty, these champions serve as role models for business success and signal strong investment and employment prospects across the continent,” says Statista’s Jannis Plachetka. 

Virta CIO and co-founder Dr. Jussi Palola, who served as CEO during the tracking period, states:

“Over a thousand Charge Point Operator customers across Europe and Asia are at the heart of Virta’s growth, empowered by the dedication of our people and investors. As the global EV fleet expands from current 4% to over 10% of all vehicles by 2030, the industry is entering a more mature phase - and enabling profitability for charge point operators will be key to achieving sustainable scale.” 

Juhani Hintikka, the newly appointed Virta CEO, about Virta future:

“Energy will be one of the key cost and profit drivers for future charging businesses and fleets. It will also be an integral and critical component of future energy infrastructure in Europe. Our special focus at Virta is on EV Virtual Power Plant (VPP) technologies and fleets, where electrification scales rapidly and the energy impact is most immediate. Last month, we acquired the fleet-tech company Northe to accelerate this journey. Our aim is to continue to  enable fleet electrification and make charging infrastructure a real driver for the energy transition.”
