The Ottawa Business Journal is once again looking for the region’s fastest-growing private companies. It’s an opportunity for companies, regardless of sector, to be recognized for substantial, sustainable and profitable growth.
“This is a fantastic program that we run every year and that celebrates some of our city’s most successful, ambitious companies,” said OBJ editor in chief Anne Howland. “It’s always interesting to hear what each of the fastest-growing companies has had to contend with over the past few years and how they’ve come out the other side.”
