The index, which was announced in Hong Kong last night, ranks the top 500 tech businesses ac-cording to their revenue growth over the past three years.
Bookme, a booking engine for tourism activities and attractions, was ranked 18th, with growth of 1359.4%.
The company, which was founded in 2010 by James Alder and Nick Reekie, was previously named rising star regional winner for Otago-lower South Island in the Deloitte Fast 50.
There were 40 New Zealand businesses that made the list, with 16 in the top 100 which was up from seven last year. Only China had more companies in the top 100 with 29.
The top-ranked business on the index was Taiwanese communications software business China Communications Media Group, with 26,585% growth, more than double its closest competitor.
The fact New Zealand businesses made up more than 15% of all companies in the top 100 was clear evidence that they had moved into the ''upper echelon'' of fast-growing technology firms in the highly competitive Asia-Pacific region, Deloitte Private partner Stephen Nicholas said.
''These results clearly show that despite the relatively small New Zealand market, hard-working innovative Kiwi firms have been able to outperform companies from many larger countries,'' Mr Nicholas said.
It was further proof that the disruptive forces of mobile and cloud technologies had ''levelled the playing field'' helping Kiwi businesses achieve global scale and overcome market and geographical boundaries, he said.
There were six Christchurch-based businesses on the index, while the remainder were North Island-based businesses.
The largest number were from China with 128, followed by Taiwan (108), India (78), Australia (66), New Zealand and Japan (40), South Korea (36), Singapore (3) and Malaysia (1).
Revenue growth across Fast 500 ranked firms was on average 356% this year, driven by strong internet and software sector growth.
