Inc. magazine has named VORAGO Technologies to its annual Inc. 5000 list for 2025, marking the company’s third consecutive appearance on this prestigious ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies. VORAGO placed No. 38 in the engineering industry nationwide, with additional placements at No. 318 in Texas and No. 2,853 overall across all industries. This achievement points to VORAGO’s growing role in equipping aerospace, defense, and industrial innovators with radiation-hardened electronics that can withstand the harshest environments.
"Our team is dedicated to delivering the most innovative, resilient semiconductor solutions in the industry. The Inc. 5000 placement reflects our customers’ trust in VORAGO to support critical missions," said Bernd Lienhard, CEO of VORAGO Technologies. "Customers choose us because we design for the realities they face — where the stakes are high and only the strongest electronics can bring consistent results.”
This year, VORAGO has significantly expanded its portfolio of radiation-hardened electronics to meet growing demand for reliable autonomous technologies across industries. The company recently announced its VA5 family of dual-core Arm® Cortex®-M55 microcontrollers, designed to bring radiation mitigation, advanced fault tolerance, and power-efficient processing to space, defense, and autonomous missions. This rollout builds on the successful launch of the VA7230 edge computing microprocessor, the first Arm®-based MPU with an embedded graphics processor (GPU) targeted at space applications.
“Making the Inc. 5000 is always a remarkable achievement, but earning a spot this year speaks volumes about a company’s tenacity and clarity of vision,” says Mike Hofman, editor-in-chief of Inc. “These businesses have thrived amid rising costs, shifting global dynamics, and constant change. They didn’t just weather the storm—they grew through it, and their stories are a powerful reminder that the entrepreneurial spirit is the engine of the U.S. economy.”
Inc. will celebrate the honorees at the 2025 Inc. 5000 Conference & Gala, taking place October 22–24 in Phoenix, and the top 500 will be listed in the Fall issue of Inc. magazine.
