Toronto, ON – RIWI Corp. (TSXV: RIWI) (OTC: RWCRF) (the “Company” or “RIWI”), a global trend-tracking and prediction technology firm, is honored to receive Deloitte’s Companies-to-Watch award that spotlights companies exhibiting a strong growth profile and innovation. The program celebrates Canada’s fast-growing technology, media, and telecommunications companies.

“I am proud to see RIWI ranked among Canada’s most exciting technology companies,” said Neil Seeman, RIWI’s Chief Executive Officer. “This recognition by Deloitte reflects the combined efforts of our team and RIWI’s unwavering dedication to deliver client service excellence every day. Even during these turbulent economic times, we continue to grow by investing in international sales activity and sales-focused marketing.
