We look forward to continuing this growth in years to come.”
“In an era of rapid and constant change, Fast 50 companies should be incredibly proud of the impact they are making across all industries, as they foster the economic prosperity and success of our country,” said Erica Pretorius, Partner and National Leader for the Technology Fast 50 program at Deloitte Canada. “Their bold vision, unrivalled growth and true commitment to innovation allows them to not only improve today’s world, but also shape tomorrow’s, and I can’t wait to see where they take us moving forward.”
“This year marks the 25th anniversary of Deloitte’s Technology Fast 500, so we are especially pleased to announce and congratulate the 2019 winners,” said Sandra Shirai, Vice-Chair, Deloitte LLP, and U.S. technology, media, and telecommunications leader. “Once again, we saw innovation across the board, with software companies continuing their dominance of the top 10. It’s always inspiring to see how the Fast 500 companies are transforming business and the world we live and work in.”
