Edmonton, Alberta (January 4, 2017) – Which company increased their revenue by 625 per cent? Or had the largest increase in assets from the past year? Added to their workforce by 175 per cent? These are just some of the highlights from the fastest growing companies in the province. The January issue of Alberta Venture unveils the 2017 Fast Growth 50 list that represents remarkable growth and success throughout Alberta’s business community. Yes, even through these tough years there are companies doing remarkably well.

Topping the list this year is Riva International, a leading provider of customer relationship management (CRM) and email integration. They experienced a 53 per cent jump in revenue from the most recent year-end and for the past seven years, Riva’s revenue has grown at an average annual rate of 51 per cent.

The companies on this year’s list had combined revenues of more than $5.3 billion growing their revenues by an average rate of 37 per cent, their assets by 33 per cent and their employee count by 22.8 per cent. We’re pleased to feature all of them in our annual list of the province’s fastest-growing companies, The Fast Growth 50.

The Fast Growth 50 Conference and Awards will be held on Thursday, February 23 at the Westin Calgary. The event is themed Ready to Bounce Back and helps growing businesses position themselves as the economy recovers.
