WELCOME

Each year, the Branham Group works relentlessly to bring together one of the most definitive listings of Canadian tech company performance. This year, the York Technology Alliance (YTA) is fortunate to welcome back Wayne Gudbranson and his team for the national reveal of the Branham300.

The Greater Toronto Area is a hotbed of technology, with many companies developing products that are breaking new ground for their industries. The YTA is thrilled to see these local companies represented on the Branham listing. A hearty congratulations to all of you; you have made an exceptional achievement in a sector that is growing more competitive every day.

Several YTA members are on the Branham300 this year. For some, it’s a repeat performance, while for others, it is their first appearance on the list. Either way, we are extremely proud of the success you have achieved.

To all of our members that made the list: it is your willingness to support your community and share insights with your peers through participation in the YTA that fosters a true cluster of successful tech companies. Thank you for your support through our Peer Group Program, monthly Keynote Luncheons and participation in special events like the YTA Technology Leadership Awards.

The YTA is pleased to provide this forum for the unveiling of this uniquely qualified and respected look into Canada’s ICT sector. Congratulations again to all companies on the list.

On behalf of the York Technology Alliance Board of Directors.
