Last night, Trulioo was named “Emerging Company of the Year” at BC Tech Association’s longstanding Technology Impact Awards (TIA)! Announced at a gala held at the Vancouver Convention Centre, the TIAs celebrate the very best of BC’s tech industry. Companies are honored in 10 different categories – all of which recognize outstanding technology, companies and individuals. Zac Cohen, GM of Trulioo, accepted the award – which acknowledges outstanding performance and growth potential – on stage last night. “We are truly honored to receive this award,” says Cohen. “It’s an exciting time for Canadian fintech, as a sector we’re experiencing exponential growth, and Trulioo is thrilled to play a key role in helping businesses navigate ever-changing financial regulation and compliance hurdles, while continuing to move forward and grow as a company. “As tech continues to flourish in Canada,” Cohen continues “with innovation rife and venture capital booming – in 2016 it ballooned 26 per cent to $2.9 billion from the previous year – it’s important that tech companies remain a major driver of innovation and economic growth.” In their 24th year, the awards gathered together a multitude of sectors from BC’s vibrant tech community, including fintech, cleantech, Software as a Service (SaaS), social media, business intelligence, security, e-commerce and web technologies.
