"This year showcased some of the most promising Canadian corporations," said Red Herring editor-in-chief Joel Dreyfuss. "Choosing the top 50 companies from a group of 100 finalists was incredibly difficult. The top 50 companies who were chosen this year should be proud, as competition was strong."
Paolo Maccario, 6N Silicon CEO added, "Last year, Red Herring recognized 6N Silicon as one of the Top 10 Startups in Canada. This year we have received even higher honors. We are very pleased to be recognized by Red Herring as one of Canada's Top 50 overall companies in their first annual competition. This is a strong endorsement of our continued progress and comes after their extensive evaluation process."
