The European startup scene has been growing more than ever and unless you are building everything in house, very often, an external help is needed when it comes to the development part. Which is why I decided to list down a list of great software development companies in Europe.
Going back to technology & innovation in Europe, today, we can see companies emerging with a value of $10 billion. Some European cities are attracting more investments & acquisitions and deep technology is thriving in this area.
Not only are startups growing, but the big, well established players in the traditional industries are now awakening to tech and going through complete digital transformation processes. Apparently, 2/3 of the largest companies in Europe invested in a tech company. Other huge foreign companies are expanding in Europe.
The list I did of amazing software development companies in Europe is mainly based on companies that use what I believe to be strong work methodologies and interesting programming languages, more specifically, companies that offer various options. However, there are other companies that deserve to be mentioned, an additional list of Top Software Development Companies you may find here.
