About the Canada's Top 10 Competition
First held in 1999, Canada’s Top 10 Competition was designed to promote the 10 most promising life science companies from across Canada (5 Early stage and 5 Emerging/Late stage) to Canadian and international investors and partners. The Competition has now expanded to showcase Canada's cleantech sector and the information and communications technology sector.
Winners are chosen by an independent expert panel of Canadian and US venture capitalists. Winners receive greater exposure to international investors and industry insiders that are important to their continued growth and success. Since their selection, current Winners and Alumni have secured more than $522M in venture capital financing.
