"We are very proud to receive this distinction from Deloitte. In 2023, Sword Health was recognized in the United States and now in Portugal for being one of the fastest growing companies on a global scale," says Virgílio Bento, founder and CEO of Sword. The company was founded in 2015 and provides physical therapy solutions through technological means, operating mainly in the North American market.
"This recognition belongs absolutely to the Sword team, because only with their talent and dedication was it possible to achieve this level of results. We will continue to focus on positively impacting the lives of all patients and on our mission: to free two million people from pain."
Pedro Brás da Silva, associate partner at Deloitte, believes that "the results are very interesting because we have companies of all sizes", explaining that "the entire technological business sector was analyzed".
Representativeness was one of the consultants' objectives when compiling this ranking. The inclusion of companies from 11 different districts demonstrates that accelerated growth, innovation, and entrepreneurship are not exclusive to large cities, Brás da Silva elaborated.
These are "new" companies, and which, "as a whole, already have some significance for the national economy, and it's also very interesting that almost 80% are already showing positive results” Brás da Silva concluded.
