Alberta’s tech sector continues to show national momentum, with eight companies earning spots on Deloitte’s 2025 Technology Fast 500, a prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing technology, media, telecom, life sciences, fintech, and energy tech firms in North America.
Now in its 31st year, the Fast 500 highlights companies that have achieved outstanding revenue growth between 2021 and 2024.
This year’s list features six Calgary companies and two from Edmonton, spanning software, fintech, energy tech, and advanced hardware — further proof that Alberta’s innovation economy is scaling at speed.
Calgary dominated the province’s representation, led by Orennia, an energy and sustainability intelligence platform that ranked #25 overall with a massive 5,252% growth rate.
The city’s fintech momentum was also on display, with Neo Financial landing at #73 thanks to its 1,279% growth, while payroll and wellness platform ZayZoon secured the #66 spot with 1,487% growth.
Other Calgary companies on the list include:
- Headversity (#216) – 375% growth
- Showpass (#282) – 271% growth
- Blackline Safety (#482) – 134% growth
Edmonton also made a strong showing.
Nanoprecise (#151) posted 539% growth, driven by demand for its predictive maintenance and industrial IoT technology. Jobber (#327), the home-service management software platform, continued its long-running growth trajectory with 229% growth.
To qualify for the Fast 500, companies must:
- Own proprietary technology that materially drives revenue
- Have at least US$50,000 in base-year revenue and US$5 million in current-year revenue
- Show a minimum 50% growth rate
- Be headquartered in North America and in business for at least four years
As Alberta’s tech ecosystems in Calgary and Edmonton mature, representation on rankings like the Fast 500 reinforces the province’s evolution into a serious contender in North America’s innovation landscape.
