Company Recognized for 8,275% Three-Year Revenue Growth, Earning a Place Among the Nation’s Most Successful Independent Businesses

HOUSTON, Aug. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Empact Technologies today announced it has been ranked No. 27 on the 2026 Inc. 5000 list, the annual list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The list is the most prestigious ranking of the nation’s most successful independent and entrepreneurial businesses, recognizing companies that have achieved remarkable growth while driving innovation, creating jobs, and shaping the future of the economy. Past honorees include companies such as Microsoft, Meta, Chobani, Oracle, and Patagonia.

“I want to thank everyone at Empact, whose hard work enabling clients to secure tax credits and quickly develop, finance, and build more solar, energy storage, carbon capture, and other critical infrastructure projects made this Inc. 5000 rank possible,” said Charles Dauber, founder and CEO of Empact.

“Compliance is now an integral part of critical infrastructure projects. Our NexusIQ™ AI platform, combined with our managed outcomes model, enables us to continue scaling compliance execution to support our clients in meeting existing IRA requirements and the new Foreign Entity of Concern (FEOC) rules under the One Big Beautiful Bill.”

This year’s Inc. 5000 recognizes a new class of companies redefining what growth looks like. From AI and advanced manufacturing to healthcare, consumer products, and professional services, these businesses are expanding their impact, creating jobs, and proving that entrepreneurial ambition continues to fuel the U.S. economy. Among the 5,000 companies on the list, the median three-year revenue growth rate was 130%, and those companies have collectively added 627,208 jobs to the U.S. economy over the past three years.

We congratulate all honorees on this significant achievement.”
