PARIS (March 24, 2026) — Deezer, the global music streaming platform, is proud to have been named to Fast Company’s prestigious annual list of the World’s Most Innovative Companies of 2026. This year’s list shines a spotlight on businesses that are shaping industry and culture through their innovations. Alongside the World’s 50 Most Innovative Companies, Fast Company recognizes 720 honorees across 59 sectors and regions.

Deezer was recognized as the No. 3 company in Fast Company’s list of the 10 most innovative music companies, honored for increasing streaming transparency by flagging AI-generated music.

“A growing player in the global music streaming market, Deezer has asserted itself as the first streaming platform to take up the cause of AI music transparency in a meaningful, large-scale way.” Fast Company wrote.

As generative AI rapidly changes how music is created and distributed, Deezer believes music is art worth protecting. Deezer is committed to helping music thrive by promoting transparency for fans and fairness for artists when it comes to identifying AI-generated tracks.

The World’s Most Innovative Companies is Fast Company’s hallmark franchise and one of its most anticipated editorial efforts of the year. To determine honorees, Fast Company’s editors and writers review companies driving progress around the world and across industries, evaluating thousands of submissions through a competitive application process. The result is a globe-spanning guide to innovation today, from early-stage startups to some of the most valuable companies in the world.
