Awareways in Top 250 Growth Companies in The Netherlands
Awareways joins the Top 250 Growth Companies, the list compiled annually by the Erasmus Centre for Entrepreneurship and nlgroeit.
Despite major challenges in recent years, including the pandemic, inflation and labor market shortages, the 250 companies that make up the list are the main drivers of job creation in the Netherlands, according to the initiative. From 2019 to 2022, they provided an increase of nearly 50,000 FTEs collectively.
Top 250 Growth Companies
The Top 250 is an overview of companies (scale-ups) with at least 10 FTEs (Full-Time Equivalent) and/or at least 5 million euros in turnover. These companies achieved three consecutive years of annual growth of at least 20 percent in FTE and/or revenue.
“The Top 250 Growth Companies help future-proof our economy,” said Prof. Justin Jansen, who conducts long-term research on high-growth companies. “They develop groundbreaking business models and innovations that create profound changes in business. This makes them invaluable in the Dutch economy.”

Awareways is proud to be part of this fine list of innovative organizations from the Dutch business community. Director Maarten Timmerman: “This ongoing growth is not one of our goals in and of itself, but the fact that we are able to grow so fast is a clear confirmation that the market really needs Security Awareness programs that have impact.”


Growth at Awareways
We owe the listing of Awareways to the efforts of our team, but of course also to the trust our clients have placed in us since the very beginning. In 2012, Awareways started out with three employees – the organization’s current management.
Since then, we have experienced structural upward growth, even seeing the number of employees double in 2021: from 20 to over 40 employees. In 2022, we continued to grow with another 20 new colleagues, and also presented another major Awareways milestone with the launch of our own software: Wave, a learning experience platform where you can learn to work securely with information.
Awareways Clusters
The growth in FTEs has been made possible in part because of the creation of our clusters, a new organizational structure in which we bring our experts together in teams.
That structure, with a focus on research, further development of our interventions and the stimulation of new ideas, has had a great impact on our approach to information security behavior change.
On this page here, we’d like to tell you a bit more about our clusters, including Learning & Development, Data ‘N Analytics, Software Development and our in-house Studio.
