Local business leaders and teams came together on March 10, 2026 at the Canadian War Museum to celebrate Ottawa Business Journal’s Fastest Growing Companies of 2026.
This edition of OBJ’s Fastest Growing Companies recognized 20 Ottawa-based companies with the highest three-year average revenue growth. Featured in OBJ’s February flagship magazine, this special issue spotlighted several top companies, their challenges, secrets to success, and where they’re headed.
The event, presented by GGFL LLP and supported by BDC, Gowling WLG, KRP Properties, and Sezlik.com, kicked off with a workshop panel discussion – moderated by OBJ Editor-in-Chief Anne Howland and GGFL Managing Partner Chad Saikaley – with three of the award recipients’ leaders around 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.
