Powered a steadily expanding tech ecosystem, the region of Vancouver lacked an explosive company over the past three years, with the city failing to appear in a top 50 list of Canada’s fastest-growing companies.
The annual Report on Business ranking, which Calgary’s Neo Financial topped, crowned multiple firms from Calgary, as well from Toronto and Montreal, before recognizing any from Vancouver—though Richmond’s UniUni, which has raised a lot of money, ranked 12th with three-year revenue growth of 3,600%.
Overall, dozens of B.C.-based companies did make the list, including many from Vancouver and several notable ones in the tech field our readers have certainly heard of. Let’s check them out.
