PomeGran Inc. ranked #1 in fibre-centric digital infrastructure among Ontario companies in The Globe and Mail's 2026 ranking of Ontario's Top Growing Companies, placing #44 overall among 173 companies with 348% three-year revenue growth from 2022 to 2025.

PomeGran's Ontario Ranking and Growth

PomeGran builds and operates fibre broadband networks for rural, remote and Indigenous communities across Canada through brands including NIVO, Digicom, CochraneTel, Canquest and ROCK Networks. The company said the Ontario recognition builds on its 2026 placement at #82 among 375 companies in The Globe and Mail's Canada's Top Growing Companies ranking, its second consecutive year as Canada's #1 in Telecom Services.

PomeGran said its growth reflects investment in Canadian sovereign digital infrastructure, fibre broadband networks and connectivity for Indigenous and underserved communities. The company is headquartered in Toronto, has a significant presence in Ottawa and operates nine locations across Ontario, with continued expansion in Northern Ontario.

"Being recognized as Ontario's #1-ranked company in fibre-centric digital infrastructure reflects the strength of our long-term vision and the investments we are making in Canada's digital future," said Dr. Kalai S. Kalaichelvan, Chairman & CEO of PomeGran.

The Northern Ontario Gigabit Fibre Project is a central part of the company's investment in rural and underserved communities, supporting high-speed connectivity for homes, businesses and Indigenous communities. NIVO, PomeGran's customer-facing Internet and connectivity brand, serves residential and enterprise customers as the fibre footprint expands, and NIVO for Business extends the offering to business customers.

"Our growth is being driven by demand for reliable, high-speed connectivity and the opportunity to serve more households and businesses," said John Bednarek, Chief Revenue Officer of PomeGran.

The Globe and Mail's ranking also included Knight Therapeutics Inc. at No. 40 on Quebec's Top Growing Companies list with 53% three-year revenue growth, and Weed Me at 191st of 375 on the national list with 140% three-year revenue growth from 2022 to 2025.

PomeGran's Funding and Network Records

According to akta.pro company records, PomeGran has two funding rounds on record, including a $71 million grant in June 2024 led by the Government of Ontario and the Universal Broadband Fund, and a $5.6 million grant in March 2024 led by the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency. The same records list total funding of $76.6 million and a revenue estimate of $250 million to $500 million.

The records also show the Northern Ontario Gigabit Fibre Project connecting 18,663 homes, including 2,580 Indigenous households. In April 2026, PomeGran launched NIVO for Business, a three-tier enterprise fiber connectivity suite ranging from 250 Mbps to 1.5 Gbps at a $99 monthly entry price, with integrated VoIP and television packages for organizations across Northern Ontario.

PomeGran's Next Steps in Northern Ontario

PomeGran said the Northern Ontario Gigabit Fibre Project and its expanding network operations support delivery of high-speed connectivity to homes, businesses and Indigenous communities. The company said NIVO is driving its next stage of growth as its fibre footprint expands.
