Top 10 App Developers in Vancouver

I was in Vancouver for the BC Tech Summit in March where the premier Hon. Christy Clark sent out an invitation to tech companies that are a major tech hub in North America, and is a place that welcomes some of the brightest minds in technology.

Coupled with high standards of living & a comparatively relaxed immigration policies compared to the US, the city’s tech sector has drawn major interest from American tech firms that need access to highly skilled foreign talent along with an ecosystem that fosters innovation. With its proximity to San Francisco, Seattle and Vancouver app developers, they are transforming major tech city where companies from the Silicon Valley and other major business centres from the US have opted to have a second HQ or an innovation center. Tech big wigs such as Microsoft and EA Sports have already made their presence felt here by opening their offices in the downtown area of Robson Square.

Vancouver’s advantage of being a favorable tech hub is more than geographic. Homegrown heavy weights such as Kik, Hootsuite, and the Silicon Valley favorite Slack were all conceptualized and born in Vancity. Gastown, a popular neighbourhood is the center for start ups and has risen in popularity across the country.

This has fueled resurgence in app development firms & software development firms in setting up their operations in Vancouver. Thanks to a vast pool of talented workforce that is graduating from three of the top five universities for software development, this business decision of app development companies makes perfect sense.

However, with an abundance of resources and firms providing their service in the Vancouver area, selecting the right partner can be an onerous task. Based on the conversations with my advisory panel which comprises of prominent VCs, CEOs of funded start-ups, and eminent academics, I have compiled a list of “Top 10 Most Promising App Development Companies in Vancouver”.
