VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aquanow received recognition as part of the 2023 Deloitte Technology Fast 50™ awards program for its rapid revenue growth over the previous four-year period, making the company one of the fastest growing in Canada.
Celebrating its 26th anniversary, the program recognizes Canada’s 50 fastest-growing technology companies based on the highest revenue-growth percentage over the past four years. Aquanow ranks 12th with a 1,842% growth in revenue from 2019 to 2022.
Deloitte’s Technology Fast 50 program winners consist of public and private companies in the technology sector that are transforming the industry.

“It’s inspiring how this year’s exceptional cohort of Technology Fast 50 winners have delivered outstanding revenue growth even in the face of prevailing uncertainties in the economy and marketplace,”
commented Anders McKenzie, partner and national leader for the Technology Fast 50 program at Deloitte Canada. “Fueled by exemplary innovation, creativity, resilience, adaptability, along with superior business leadership, these companies are paving the way as catalysts in their respective sectors and delivering growth and value to the Canadian economy both at home and beyond.”
