The FD Gazellen International Award

Het Financieele Dagblad (FD) is the leading newspaper on economic subjects in the Netherlands. Every year, the newspaper recognizes the fastest-growing companies in the country through the FD Gazellen award. For the first time, FD has introduced a new award that acknowledges the success of Dutch companies operating on the international stage. 

The new accolade is a celebration of international entrepreneurship and evaluates the performance of Dutch companies abroad to determine their eligibility for nomination. A panel of respected Dutch business leaders serves as judges and assesses nominees based on several criteria. This includes whether a minimum of 25% of their revenue is generated from international sources in 2022, a revenue growth rate of at least 25% between 2020 and 2022, and a predetermined minimum revenue threshold. 

i3D.net's international expansion

i3D.net started its operations in the Netherlands in 2002 and has steadily grown its international presence over its 20-year existence. The company expanded first to Germany and then France in 2007. This was followed by a period of cementing the company’s international position and growing the network by opening more locations globally. 

i3D.net opened locations in Washington DC, Sydney, Tokyo and Los Angeles in 2010, and entered the South American market in 2012. Through acquisitions, it grew its presence within the US market and opened an office in the Los Angeles region. The i3D.net US team has seen a 4-fold growth in the past five years and is still growing every month. 

i3D.net currently operates a network of 60+ Points of Presence (PoPs) in over 30 countries on 6 continents across the globe. It continues to grow its network with an average of five new locations opened globally every year.
