Local business leaders and teams came together on Mar, 10, 2026 at the Canadian War Museum to celebrate Ottawa Business Journal’s Fastest Growing Companies of 2026.
The 2026 edition of the Fastest Growing Companies recognized 20 rising Ottawa-based companies that have generated the highest amount of revenue growth in the past year. Featured in OBJ’s February Flagship Magazine, this special issue spotlighted the stories of several top companies, their challenges, secrets to success, and where they are going next.
The event, presented by GGFL, and supported by BDC, Gowling WLG, KRP Properties, and Sezlik Realty, kicked off with a workshop panel discussion hosted by Anne Howland and Chad Saikaley, as they sat down with three of the Fastest Growing Companies leaders for an insightful discussion around the obstacles and contributors to achieving and managing rapid business growth. After a cocktail hour for guests to connect over drinks and appetizers, the crowd came together to celebrate all 20 companies as they were presented their awards.
