VANCOUVER, Nov. 16, 2016 /PRNewswire/ - UrtheCast Corp. (TSX:UR) ("UrtheCast" or the "Company") today announces that it has been awarded the #1 spot on Deloitte's 19th annual Technology Fast 50 program. This prestigious designation has been awarded to UrtheCast for being the fastest growing technology company in Canada in terms of revenue growth over the period 2012 to 2015.

In assessing the factors that led to the company's dramatic revenue growth over the period, UrtheCast's President and CEO Wade Larson credits the company's constant focus on innovation, strong support and commitment from the company's customers, and the incredible passion and dedication of UrtheCast's employees.

"Just as Canada's tech sector is in a period of dramatic growth and innovation, the same is true for the global space sector, where UrtheCast is strongly positioned as a disruptive player in the rapidly-growing markets of Earth Observation and 'big data' geoanalytics. Winning the Deloitte Fast 50 award for fastest revenue growth is a huge achievement," said Larson. "We're delighted and humbled to have won." 

"Fast 50 companies are the cutting-edge innovators leading the technology industry in Canada," said Anders McKenzie, Technology, Media and Telecommunications Managing Partner for Deloitte in Canada. "Their bold vision, unrivaled growth and true commitment to innovation allow them to not only improve today's world, but also shape tomorrow's."

To qualify for the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 ranking, companies must have been in business for at least four years, have revenues of at least $5 million, be headquartered in Canada, own proprietary technology, conduct research and development activities in Canada and invest a minimum of five percent of gross revenues in R&D.
