News Summary

London’s Info-Tech Research Group has evolved from a simple faxed newsletter into a prominent global advisory firm, offering insights and tools to over 30,000 customers worldwide. Founded in 1997 by Joel McLean, Info-Tech initially provided IT professionals with timely guidance through newsletters. With significant growth over the past five years, the company now serves multiple departments beyond IT, including HR and marketing, and has expanded to countries like the US, Canada, Australia, and the UK. The firm attributes part of its success to early support from TechAlliance, a regional innovation center in Southwestern Ontario, which has helped numerous startups access over $2.2 billion in funding. Info-Tech continues to anchor its operations in London, Ontario, contributing to the region’s reputation as a hub for innovation beyond the GTA and Kitchener-Waterloo.
