About the PwC Vision to Reality Program
Our Vision to reality program (V2R) is tailored to companies with extraordinary potential. It brings together start-up founders, CEO's, venture capitalists and key decision makers in the technology ecosystem to share perspectives and collaborate on how to create success. The program is broken down into three main initiatives:
Innovating to disrupt
The Vision to Reality Awards program celebrates dynamic companies in the technology sector that have demonstrated successful growth, and whose outstanding achievements have made them some of Canada's most successful technology companies. These companies have made a difference in Canada by having the courage to expose their visions, and then turn them into the reality of revenues, profit and benefits to the industry.
The Awards
Innovator of the Year Award
To be a world leader in technology, Canadian companies must be able to not only develop leading edge technologies, but also to sell it. The Innovator of the Year Award acknowledges the company that has best demonstrated the commercialization of an innovative technology solution. The innovation must be new, unique and a ‘game changer'—and customer acceptance must be demonstrated.
The recipient of this award will be determined by an independent panel of judges who are recognized as experts on technological innovation and building companies based on innovation.
Top 10 Up-and-Coming Technology Companies
All nominations for the Innovator of the Year will also be considered for the top 10 list of up-and-coming technology companies. These companies will have demonstrated significant promise and potential and be considered the companies to watch.
