Crowd Connected Named in Fast Growth Index

Crowd Connected Named in UK Fast Growth Index 2025 for Accelerated Growth in Indoor Positioning, Smart Buildings and RTLS Technology

Crowd Connected, the Guildford-based technology company pioneering indoor positioning and real-time location systems, has been recognised in the UK Fast Growth Index 2025 for exceptional revenue growth and innovation in spatial intelligence. The Index lists the 50 fastest-growing privately held companies across seven UK regions, with Crowd Connected ranking among the fastest-growing technology firms in the South of England.

Sifted 100

Earlier in 2025, the Financial Times–backed publication Sifted also recognised Crowd Connected for its 90.5% compound annual growth rate and an innovation-led business model, placing it just outside the Sifted 100.

Spatial Intelligence

This recognition reinforces Crowd Connected’s position in the expanding indoor location and spatial intelligence sectors. The company’s software platform enables indoor navigation, asset tracking, and occupancy analytics across events, smart buildings, commercial real estate, universities, healthcare, and enterprise campuses worldwide.

“Being named in the UK Fast Growth Index is testament to our commercial momentum and our mission to make physical spaces measurable, efficient, and intelligent,” said James Cobb, Founder and CEO of Crowd Connected. “Recognition like this reflects the UK’s strength in location intelligence and smart-building technology.”

Event Technology

Much of the company’s growth stems from event-technology integrations that power visitor navigation and behaviour analytics at exhibitions and conferences. Beyond events, the company’s RTLS and spatial-intelligence systems are increasingly deployed in smart buildings, higher education, and healthcare, improving people and resource management across campuses, hospitals, and large public facilities.

Gartner Cool Vendor

Crowd Connected was previously recognised by Gartner as a Cool Vendor in Indoor Location Technologies (2022), acknowledging its leadership in indoor positioning and location analytics. The company’s technology originated from Innovate UK–funded R&D and continues to contribute to the UK’s digital infrastructure and smart-space ecosystem.

UK Fast Growth Index

Professor Dylan Jones-Evans OBE, founder of the UK Fast Growth Index, commented: “The Index highlights how innovative companies like Crowd Connected make a measurable impact on both regional economies and national productivity. These high-growth firms are proof that advanced digital technology continues to drive the UK’s competitiveness.”
