GeoDigital International Inc. is named one of Canada’s fastest growing technology companies in the 15th annual Deloitte Technology Fast 50TM awards. The Fast 50 program recognizes the 50 fastest growing technology companies in Canada, based on the percentage of revenue growth over five years. GeoDigital International’s increase in revenues of 1077% percent from 2007 to 2011 resulted in a number 12 ranking.
“Canadian Fast 50 companies innovate, demonstrate entrepreneurship, create jobs, and invest in R&D,” said Richard Lee, National Leader, Technology, Media & Telecommunications Industry Group, Deloitte.
“GeoDigital International is an example of a company that shows passion, determination and drive that are so important for growth in the Canadian technology sector.”
GeoDigital International’s CEO Alastair Jenkins commented, “The credit for this achievement goes to our team for their dedication and focus on meeting our customer’s needs”. He went on to say, “The Company’s 1077% percent revenue growth over the past 5 years has been achieved by addressing the needs of the energy and infrastructure industries for timely, actionable airborne geospatial information.
Our technology and software as a service offering has become the benchmark for electrical utilities in North America and the standard for service and quality that others aspire to achieve.”
