The TSX Venture 50 project was initiated to provide awareness to the Canadian investment community on the quality companies that are listed on the Exchange and that are using public venture capital to grow their companies. The division of the top 50 companies in industry sectors shows the diversity of the companies listed on the TSX Venture Exchange and recognizes the company growth in their own industry sector.
