CANADA TOP 50

Red Herring Canada will host its first annual Top 50 Awards, celebrating the most innovative and promising companies in Canada. Adding to the success of our yearly North America 100, Europe 100 and Global 100 events, Red Herring Canada will provide an opportunity for the nation's Top 50 companies to deliver their message to the top VCs and other participants throughout North America and abroad.

The nominees are rigidly evaluated on both quantitative and qualitative criteria, such as financial performance, technology innovation, quality of management, execution of strategy and integration into their ecosystem. This unique assessment of potential is measured by a review of the actual track record and standing of a company, allowing Red Herring to see past the "buzz" and make the list an invaluable instrument for discovering and advocating the greatest business opportunities in the industry.

The Top 50 Winners will be announced at the
Red Herring Canada event on September 16.

The CEOs and founders from the Red Herring Canada Top 50 will present their winning technologies to an audience of leading entrepreneurs, financiers and corporate strategists in
Mont-Tremblant on September15-17.
