T-Net British Columbia originally introduced the T-Net 100 Awards Program™ in 1999 to recognize BC's top 100 technology companies and to benchmark overall growth in the BC technology industry.   The T-Net 100 honours BC's 100 largest private and publicly traded technology companies each year, as ranked by revenues.   The T-Net 100 is the only ranking of BC's top 100 technology companies by revenues, and includes technology companies with headquarters located in BC only.   There are several other major technology companies which are not headquartered in BC, or who do not meet our inclusion criteria, but which nonetheless are major employers and contributors to the local technology industry. These companies include Electronic Arts Canada, IBM Canada, Raytheon Systems, Honeywell ASCa, Nortel Networks, Broadcom Canada Ltd. and many others.
