Best Transportation and Logistics Tech Companies in Canada

The 699 best Transportation and Logistics Tech companies in Canada in 2026, ranked by funding and momentum. Funding, investors, founders, valuation, tech stack and live signals. Top: Miovision.

$1.8Bdisclosed funding
0unicorns
119have raised

Canada's Transportation and Logistics Tech sector has 699 companies on the board, and if you're trying to find who's actually capitalized to compete, this directory ranks them by disclosed equity funding and recent funding momentum. Total disclosed funding sits at $1.8B across those tracked companies, which sounds substantial until you notice there isn't a single unicorn in the mix yet. That's the tension worth watching.

UniUni leads the funding table at $112M, followed by Dejero at $88M and Spare at $59M. The gap between those top earners and the rest is steep. I'd point you to the global picture for context: Allied Market Research puts the worldwide logistics tech market at roughly $13.0B by 2027, growing at a 6.5% CAGR from a $7.6B base in 2017, driven by IoT adoption, e-commerce volume and the rise of reverse logistics. Canadian players are building into that tailwind. And the mobile side is moving fast, with median app install growth running at about 20% year-over-year across 691 logistics and transportation apps tracked globally. So the consumer-facing layer is scaling even while the equity stack here stays pre-unicorn. Backers like BDC, Y Combinator and Techstars are the names showing up most consistently, which tells you the funding is spread across stages, not concentrated at the top.
