24 Tech Firms Make NJBIZ’s 50 Fastest Growing Companies List

Looking for a potential employer? Each year NJBIZ comes up with its list of New Jersey’s 50 Fastest Growing Companies. This year almost half of the 50 companies NJBIZ mentioned are tech or tech-related, a good indication of the importance of the tech sector to the state’s economy.

The winning companies were ranked according to revenue growth over a three-year period, NJBIZ said, and both dollar and percentage increases were taken into consideration.

Many of the tech companies on this list are IT consulting or staffing firms. Keep in mind that these companies are located in New Jersey, but the number of people employed in the state, in some cases, will not match the total number of employees provided. The list and the data on the numbers of employees are from NJBIZ. We’ve also added our own information.
