Apart from the surge in business their potential for growth was recognized by winning the “Made in York Region” investors pitching competition last November. TROES competed with 40 participating companies and was awarded the 1st prize of $10,000. This symbolic prize serves as a recognition for TROES’ business model, current progress and future potential. “It was also a great honour and recognition for us to welcome The Honourable Frank Scarpitti, Mayor of the City of Markham last November at our offices” says Vienna. TROES was also selected as one of the “5 supported companies by ventureLAB (the region’s innovation hub) to Watch in 2020”. They are hosted at ventureLAB’s incubator space, in the IBM building, where they are constantly surrounded by innovative, next generationthinking, tech companies, which create an unbelievably inspiring and supportive environment for vision and growth. “We are very proud to be part of Markham’s Tech Community and very grateful for everyone’s support” says Zhou. “We look forward to contributing further to Markham’s development and sharing more “Made in Markham” success stories”.
