SmartONE is KPMG Canada's 2022 Tech Innovator

SmartONE, a Markham, ON-based provider of smart home technologies, has won KPMG Canada’s 2022 Tech Innovator competition.

SmartONE beat out 34 other promising Canadian startups to win the top prize. Tech innovation companies were measured against a set of objective criteria and chosen by a panel that included third parties to ensure independence.

“This year's competition was fierce and while all the companies were impressive, the judges concluded that SmartONE stood out from the crowd with their innovative business model," said Sunil Mistry, partner, enterprise and technology, media, and telecommunications, KPMG Canada. "They are taking smart home technology one step further, providing convenience, safety, and security while elevating the community living experience. Their market potential is huge."

SmartONE was founded in 2016 and connects smart homes within multi-family developments. The firm’s apps allow residents to control access to building entrances, view common area cameras, enable electric vehicle charging, activate car shares and smart parking, and facilitate package delivery.

"We are honoured to be named KPMG Private Enterprise Tech Innovator in Canada," said Ted Maulucci, SmartONE's co-founder and president. "We competed against some of Canada's top tech start-ups and have been recognized as one of the best of the best. Thank you to KPMG for the opportunity and support throughout the process.”

The Canadian runners-up this year included Apollo Insurance, a Vancouver-based company that allows broker partners and customers to purchase insurance online 24/7 through its proprietary platform, and Copperstone Technologies, an Alberta-based firm that builds amphibious robots for hazardous site investigations.

SmartONE will go on to compete against winners from 21 other countries for the title of KPMG Private Enterprise Global Tech Innovator this November in Lisbon.
