It was full of entrepreneurs wishing to make clear to their networks that they have been commended by the most authoritative financial entity in the Dutch media landscape. The interest in FD Gazellen is shared in many quarters. For example, a Google search for \u2018FD Gazellen 2023\u2019 yields 188,000 hits.
