Abstract 

This IDC study profiles 10 relatively small digital media companies based out of Toronto, Canada, or that have a significant presence there, and that it believes are worthy of highlighting to the broader industry. This study provides a review of each company's technology and go-to-market strategy, partners, and customers. It concludes with some of the overarching trends IDC is seeing in this market and what makes Toronto a unique place for digital media development and innovation.

This study provides valuable input for ICT vendors, investors, government, and service providers to identify promising companies in the mobile space, potential partners, and investment opportunities. To qualify for inclusion in this document, companies had to be privately held, have fewer than or about 100 employees, under $20 million in revenue, and be based in Toronto or have a significant presence there.

"While innovation around digital media development, usage, and adoption can be found across Canada, there is notable activity and infrastructure/support taking place in Toronto to drive the market forward," says Krista Napier, senior analyst for Canadian Emerging Technology and Digital Media at IDC Canada. "The unique intersection of art and technology in Toronto serves as an optimal driver for digital media and a breeding ground for start-ups that are looking to have their impact on the broader market."
