For the 9th consecutive year, Main Capital organized the Main Software Top 50. This 2020 edition has an increased number of registrations compared to previous years. Icecat ranked 12th in this 2020 edition with a score of 93.1%.
Due to COVID-19, this year’s award show was unfortunately canceled. Instead, the awards are presented via an online video.
“We thank our users, clients, partners, and the Icecat team. Without them, this result would not be possible. We commit to growth, innovation, and help people make more sustainable purchase decisions.”
Martijn Hoogeveen, CEO Icecat
In the top 50, there are three companies, including Icecat, that are active in the e-commerce market. Other application areas in the Main Software Top 50 are, for example, ERP, business intelligence, medical, monitoring, and content management systems related.
This year, we won several other awards such as the European Business Award, a top 10 listing in the 2020 SME Data Science Top 50, and a ranking as 46th in the FD Gazellen Award of 2020. But, maybe we are the happiest with being number one as content syndicator according to SimilarWeb. Because that says something about people using our platform, which is the competitive edge of Icecat in its core-industry.
