AcuityAds Holdings Inc. (TSXV: AT) has been one of the top-performing Canadian tech stocks during the past year, soaring 252% to its current price of $3.80 per share. The Company was recognized recently as the TSXV Tech Stock of the Year at the Cantech Investment Conference 2017.

AcuityAds has developed a platform that allows the trading of online ad units, which is done in an auction-based system. When someone visits a website advertisers vie for access to that consumer. Ads are targeted based on what that consumer has been searching for, their location, age, sex, etc. An online auction then takes place faster than a page can load – milliseconds – and the highest bigger is able to show their digital ad to that particular consumer.

“AcuityAds is in a hot space today, the programmatic marketing space that’s growing very quickly. We just announced our 2016 results (unaudited financial guidance) and we grew over 90%. I think it’s a great growth story – we’re in an industry that’s changing everyday … and what I tell everyone now is that the best is yet to come,” AcuityAds Holdings CEO Tal Hayek told SmallCapPower.

Cloud Nine Education Group (CSE: CNI) provides a digitally-based English as a Second Language (ESL) study program, which is affordable even for students in developing nations. The British Counsel has estimated that by 2020 more than two billion people will be studying English each year.

“We are a textbook publishing disruptor – we’ve created a Cloud-hosted digital ESL curriculum that is very unique and meets the opportunities of today’s highly-mobile students, who are looking to have all their materials available at a touch of a finger anytime night or day,” said Cloud Nine Education Group President & CEO Michael Hunter.

Eurocontrol Technics Group Inc. (TSXV: EUO) specializes in the acquisition, development and commercialization of test and measurement technologies for the authentication, verification and certification markets. It operates through its three wholly-owned subsidiaries: Xenemetrix Ltd., XwinSys, and Croptimal.  Eurocontrol’s newest subsidiary, Croptimal, provides for in-field testing utilizing a mobile and compact laboratory that automatically prepares samples of soil, water and critical parts of the crops and is equipped with integrated multi-spectral spectroscopy and solution electric measurement units for a full range of material analysis of nutrients and contaminates. It services a market estimated at US$3 billion annually.

“This year (2017) we will really begin to exploit the technologies we’ve been developing,” Eurocontrol Chairman and CEO Bruce Rowlands told SmallCapPower. Mr. Rowlands asserted that his Company’s stock is “significantly undervalued,” with EUO’s share price trading at roughly its cash value. “So if you buy the shares today, you’re essentially getting all the businesses for free,” he said, adding that he believes the Company is “on the verge of some big things.” Eurocontrol Technics Group has about $14.3 million in liquid assets, and additional guaranteed cash flows of $7.5 million in the next five years.
