An invitation to nominate to the 2016 Ready to Rocket lists

BC is home to many of Canada’s most exciting technology companies. Rocket Builders has built a unique methodology for analyzing market trends and using this knowledge to predict revenue growth in the coming year. Each year Rocket Builders publishes lists which profile the BC companies that have the greatest potential in the coming year.

The “Ready to Rocket” Lists feature top technology companies that are best positioned to capitalize on the largest growth trends in the technology industry. This upcoming list will be the 14th year of this recognition list.

We are seeking nominations for the 2016 “Ready to Rocket” lists that we will present on March 1 2016. Nomination deadline is February 23th 2016, but submission as soon as possible will allow the selection committee more time to consider your nomination.

Many promising companies are too early in commercialization, too early in first revenues, or in transition to new markets or business models. Based on the potential of their technology alone, Rocket Builders recognizes their potential in a “Emerging Rockets” list. These companies represent companies to watch over the next few years and are likely to mature into “Ready to Rocket” companies.
