"Earth observation data will improve life for each person on this planet in some significant way. It is the next great wave of space technology following on the heels of the GPS revolution of the last two decades," says James Slifierz, CEO at SkyWatch. "SkyWatch is proud to be leading this revolution, democratizing Earth observation data for the benefit of humanity. We're thrilled that Deloitte has recognized the impact we are having, and yet we promise that we are still just getting started."
Companies-to-Watch winners are new companies headquartered in Canada, demonstrating superior technology, effective management experience and common traits of Deloitte Technology Fast 50 award winners. To be eligible, candidates must also devote a significant portion of their operating revenues to creating proprietary technology or intellectual property.
