FusionAuth today announced accelerated momentum across Europe, powered by rising enterprise demand for data sovereignty, tenant isolation, and infrastructure control.
In its fiscal first quarter ended July 31, 2026, FusionAuth grew new-business annual recurring revenue (ARR) by 48% year-over-year and increased new customer acquisitions by 40%. Regional European ARR grew 72%% over the past two years—contributing over 30% of Company ARR -—all before FusionAuth had a dedicated team in the region. In response to that growth, FusionAuth has established its first European sales presence, based in the United Kingdom.
European focus on digital sovereignty continues to intensify, with EU initiatives placing greater emphasis on cloud sovereignty, interoperability, portability, and control over data infrastructure. According to Gartner, European sovereign-cloud IaaS spending is forecast to rise 83% in 2026. FusionAuth’s 2026 State of AI and Identity Report also found that 85% of technology leaders have faced customer, partner, and supplier demands to demonstrate tenant isolation as an enterprise buying criterion.
This need for control is especially important in consumer-facing sectors, where a brand’s relationship with its customers, and the identity and data behind it, is too valuable to hand to a shared platform. That momentum is clear across FusionAuth’s fastest-growing verticals, anchored by European market leaders:
- Media & Telecom: ARR grew 70% in the last year and over 90% across two years, led by media intelligence provider UNICEPTA and a major European news publisher.
- Energy & Utilities: Customer count surged 120% in the last year, driving two-year ARR growth over 90%, including German smart-home energy pioneer tado° and mobility platform MKB Brandstof.
- Retail & Consumer Goods: ARR increased 65% over two years on larger enterprise deployments, including French supermarket leader Grand Frais and premium skincare brand Elemis.
That same emphasis on owning the customer relationship applies directly to professional sports, where multiple premier football clubs and governing bodies rely on FusionAuth to secure and unify fan identity. On October 7-8, FusionAuth is co-sponsoring The Fan Identity Forum at Leaders Week London–gathering over 3,000 senior sports decision-makers at Stamford Bridge. Partnering with sports digital product specialist Stadion, FusionAuth will address the impact of AI and the strategic necessity to identify and own the fan relationship across ticketing, merchandising, streaming, and matchday experiences.
