Top 25 Up and Comers
This year’s Up and Comers show great promise with their mixture of innovative products and services, as well as their determination to shine amongst the competition. The companies were chosen based upon their offerings, niche markets, competitiveness and 2005 financial success.
These companies operated in diverse spaces such as wireless technology, search engine performance, Internet security, mobile software development and video gaming.
As in last year’s list, Ontario was a major contributor, producing 76 per cent of the companies (the same as 2004). However, notable changes include companies from British Columbia composing 16 per cent of the total (up from four per cent last year), the lack of Quebec companies, and the introduction of
a wireless technology innovator from Prince Edward Island.
