It’s official: Humanoids has once again been named an FD Gazelle. For the fifth year in a row, in fact and this time in the mid-sized category. A meaningful recognition, because it confirms something that matters to us far more than numbers alone: stable growth.

What this recognition means to us

The FD Gazellen Awards focus on sustainable development. For us, receiving this recognition for the fifth consecutive year is a sign that our choices are working. We invest in people, in expertise, and in a way of collaborating that creates quality. Over the years, we’ve grown in size, but even more in maturity. Our teams work smoothly together, and the projects we take on have become increasingly complex and strategic.

Growing without losing our core

Moving into the mid-sized category shows how we’ve grown alongside our clients. We’re tackling larger challenges and taking on broader roles within teams and organisations. Yet the foundation that has carried us all these years remains unchanged. Attention to the user. Attention to each other. And a conviction that real progress happens when technology becomes understandable and human.

Specialised expertise remains essential, especially in an AI-driven era

AI has accelerated rapidly, but one trend stands out: the need for true specialists continues to grow. Organisations are looking for people who can understand technology deeply and translate it into clear, reliable experiences for users. That takes craftsmanship, research, curiosity and a strong grounding in UX and technology.

Because we have our own training programme, we can adapt quickly to new developments. We’re not only educating the specialists organisations need today, but also the people who will shape how AI is applied responsibly and meaningfully in the years to come.

Looking ahead

This fifth FD Gazelle doesn’t feel like a finish line, but a milestone along the way. We’ll continue investing in our expertise in UX, technology and AI.

For now, we’re simply proud of our team, of the projects we’ve built together, and of the clients who have trusted us for so many years to grow alongside them.
