Signicat's recognition underscores its sustained European leadership and steady cross-border growth in the digital identity solutions field.
Signicat, the leading pan-European provider of digital identity solutions, is proud to announce its inclusion in the first-ever edition of Europe’s Long-Term Growth Champions 2025, a prestigious ranking compiled by the Financial Times and Statista. This recognition highlights Signicat’s consistent business growth and its commitment to delivering innovative, secure, and trusted digital identity solutions across Europe.
Europe’s Long-Term Growth Champions ranking celebrates companies that have demonstrated sustainable, long-term growth. To qualify, companies must have achieved sustained revenue growth over ten years, from 2013 to 2023, and have met a series of criteria, including a minimum annual revenue.
Originally founded in Norway and with strong Nordic roots, Signicat has expanded its reach over the past several years to become a true European leader in the digital identity space. Today, the company serves over 15.000 customers across 45 countries, with 16 offices in 13 countries throughout Europe.
Signicat’s growth is driven by both organic expansion and strategic acquisitions. While the company has steadily grown its market presence across Europe, it has also strengthened its product offerings through seven key acquisitions. The most recent one was SmartWorks, an Icelandic provider of digital identity solutions, acquired in March 2024. Past acquisitions include Norwegian trust services provider Idfy in 2019, Dutch identity specialist Connectis in 2020, and three market leaders in 2021—Norwegian Encap Security, Spanish-based Electronic Identification, and Lithuanian-based Dokobit. The acquisition of UK-based anti-fraud orchestration leader Sphonic in 2022 and SmartWorks in 2024 further bolstered Signicat’s leadership in digital identity and fraud prevention.
“From our beginnings in the Nordics to becoming a European leader, we have always believed in the importance of a One-Stop-Shop digital identity platform for all the enterprises out there, who want to be well protected against fraud, while still delivering best-in-class digital onboarding, authentication, and signing journeys. The Long-Term Growth Champions prize from FT and Statista is a testament to this mission. At the same time, Signicat continues to deliver solutions that help people and organisations navigate the digital world securely”, comments Asger Hattel, CEO of Signicat.
The company’s product roadmap has continually evolved to meet the growing demand for secure digital identity verification, authentication, electronic signing and fraud prevention solutions. Trusted by major institutions such as Santander, Rabobank, and Volvo, Signicat has firmly established itself as a leader in the digital identity space.
