Deloitte Canada unveils 2025 Technology Fast 50™ program winners as tech resilience powers cross-country innovation

Deloitte Canada is proud to announce the winners of its 2025 Technology Fast 50 program. Now in its 28th year, the program recognizes the world-class achievements of Canada’s top technology companies, highlighting their resilience, entrepreneurial spirit, and commitment to innovation. This year marks the most competitive Technology Fast 50 program in over two decades, with the average three-year growth revenue of the Technology Fast 50 winners reaching 2,623%.

“This year’s Technology Fast 50 program winners exemplify how Canada’s tech leaders are rising above external headwinds, demonstrating both resilience and readiness to go big,” says Brendan Cooper, partner and national co-leader for the Technology Fast 50 program at Deloitte Canada. “With representation across the country these companies are fueling a new wave of growth that will position Canada as a global force in technology and innovation. We’re excited to celebrate their achievements and champion their ongoing success.”

According to Technology Fast 50 program applicants, the top challenge facing Canada’s fastest-growing technology companies remains attracting and retaining a qualified workforce, followed closely by international expansion and developing new products and services. However, developing new products and services is also how most (82%) of applicants plan to grow their company.  Building strategic alliances and partnerships (78%) and expanding within Canada (72%) are also top growth strategies reported.

Interestingly, 76% of applicants plan to invest in IT in the coming year, down from 97% who indicated the same last year. That said, among those planning to invest, artificial intelligence and automation remain the top priorities and, consistent with last year, are chosen far more frequently than any other IT investment option.

“The Technology Fast 50 program is more than an annual ranking, it’s a signal to the market that a company is among Canada’s fastest-scaling innovators,” says Amanda Perran, partner and national co-leader for the Technology Fast 50 program at Deloitte Canada. “Despite ongoing talent and international expansion challenges, this year’s cohort is doubling down on innovation with new products and strategic partnerships. Even as overall IT investment moderates, AI and automation remain central to growth, highlighting the resilient, forward-thinking mindset of Canada’s tech sector.”

Winner selection is based solely on revenue growth requirements. Each participating company must submit audited or reviewed financial statements in order to qualify for the program.
