Canada is poised to be home to some of the biggest technological giants of mobile app development companies. Unicorns such as Amazon, Google, Facebook, Lyft, and Shopify to name a few have made this vibrant city their home for the last half-decade. Google doubled down on its Canadian Investments by setting up an office in Canada’s Silicon Valley, Waterloo, and has also partnered with the City of Toronto as Sidewalk Labs to rejuvenate the Toronto Harbourfront into a sprawling, bustling smart city.
Not too far from Toronto in the nation’s capital Ottawa, the tech sector is experiencing a renaissance of sorts with enterprise software developers leading the charge by creating groundbreaking products and achieving exponential growth. Important centers of commerce such as Vancouver, BC are host to significant-tech corporations such as EA Sports and Microsoft. Even the Prime Minister, the Rt. Hon Justin Trudeau has taken a great interest in the tech space and has recognized it as one of his government’s top priorities to accelerate innovation and job growth.
I have been a part of the tech scene for a number of years, and have been following and networking with key players in the market to better understand the existing environment & the potential it presents. For entrepreneurs & established businesses hiring a mobile app development firm as an extension of their current teams is a herculean task that I seek to simplify for my readers. Based on the conversations with my advisory panel which comprises prominent VCs, CEOs of funded startups, and eminent academics, I have compiled a list of “Top 10 Most Promising App Developers in Canada”.

Finishing Thoughts
According to the MoneyTree Report by WC and CB Insights, the app economy – a significant part of Canada’s digital economy – will play a crucial role in the coming years’ economic landscape. Apps such as Breather, Hopper, Ritual, and Top Hat have raised millions in funding over the last 2 years and are well on their way to achieving unicorn status. This proves one thing that the appetite for app-based products and services is ever-growing in Canada, and there are scores of entrepreneurs both with technical and non-technical backgrounds lurking in the alleys of incubators and accelerators looking to pounce on these opportunities.
While technical entrepreneurs (now reduced to a relatively small number due to the brain drain to the south of the border lured by the charm offensive of the Silicon Valley) are more adept at developing their applications, the non-technical founders, however, rely on a plethora of mobile app developers and app development companies to bring their ideas to life.
As someone who has built (and failed) at an app-based business, I’ve worked with a few app developers (freelancers) and app development companies; I can tell you from experience that finding the right app development partner is more important than saving a few thousand in building your product. A company that is the right fit for your business should clearly understand business requirements, provide additional value by finding ways of optimizing and enhancing business processes, and above all, have superior UI/UX skills.
