VANCOUVER, B.C. (PRWEB) May 31, 2018 -- Trulioo, the leading RegTech company providing global identity verification services to help build trust online, was selected as the B.C. winner of the 2018 Global Entrepreneurship Award by Startup Canada, the national rallying community and voice for Canada’s entrepreneurs.
Now in its fifth year, the awards are the hallmark event celebrating outstanding achievements of Canada’s entrepreneurship and innovation community. Every year, the awards celebrate dozens of entrepreneurs, innovators, and support organizations coast-to-coast; and attract more than 1,500 attendees and 4,000 online viewers at regional and national ceremonies.
“We’re truly honored to have been recognized by Startup Canada for the Global Entrepreneurship Award,” said Trulioo CEO, Stephen Ufford. “Scaling our company with dedicated and talented people who are passionately invested in building a global marketplace for identity services has helped pave the way for increased trust and safety online in today’s borderless and mobile-first world.”
Awarded to a Canadian company exhibiting excellence in its global orientation and business practices, the Global Entrepreneurship Award was presented to Trulioo last night at the British Columbia ceremony held in Vancouver.
The winners of the Startup Canada Awards are selected by an esteemed panel of adjudicators, consisting of a diverse group of leading entrepreneurs, ecosystem builders and public figures.
“It is a very exciting time for tech in Canada – the tech sector is experiencing explosive growth as we strive to make lasting global impact by supporting businesses, both here and overseas, meet the ever-changing compliance obligations,” Ufford continued.
On October 18, regional winners from across Canada will gather in Ottawa for the national Startup Canada Awards Grand Finale. These winners are nation-builders inspiring the next generation of game-changers, disruptors, and innovative leaders. They demonstrate that taking risks, disrupting industries, and supporting one another are pathways to a successful future for all Canadians.
In 2016, Trulioo was selected as the regional winner of the Startup Canada Award for Innovation.
