Rising Star Integrator 2026
The young Canadian integration firm on the steepest trajectory: the company the industry will be talking about in three years, named now.
Every national integrator was once a regional shop with momentum. Spotting them early is the fun part, and it is also a service to buyers: the rising firm often delivers the hungriest, most attentive work in the market while it still has something to prove.
Rising Star names the young Canadian integration firm on the steepest trajectory, one winner, each year. Nominees stay under consideration for future ranked lists as they grow.
Anyone can nominate, free. Self-nominations welcome.
Every claim verified against our criteria. Nominations inform, never decide.
The ranking, the reasoning, and the criticisms, on this page.
- Trajectory. Growth in capability and reach that outpaces the firm’s age.
- Craft first. Expansion built on quality of work, not just acquisition arithmetic.
- Talent magnet. The people choosing to join tell you where a firm is going.
- Modern stack. Fluency in the platforms and practices the industry is moving toward.
- Ambition with receipts. A plan for the next tier, and evidence it is already underway.
Selection is editorial. Nominating is free, placement cannot be bought, and nominees do not see the list before publication. Read how our rankings work.
