Kablamo expands into Canada

Kablamo has launched in Canada, establishing operations in the Waterloo region of Ontario and marking the company's first expansion beyond Australia.

The move follows growing North American demand for Kablamo's cloud-native digital product development and AI data platform work, capabilities built across a decade of delivering for Australian enterprises and government agencies.

Why Canada, why now

The Waterloo region is home to the University of Waterloo and one of the most concentrated technology talent pools in North America. For Kablamo, it was the right cultural and technical fit.

Allan Waddell, co-CEO and founder, said:

"The Waterloo region is widely considered one of the fastest, if not the fastest, growing tech hubs in North America. It's the right fit for our culture and we believe we'll be bringing fresh learnings around digital product development, DevOps and agile while simultaneously being exposed to different approaches that work in this geography."

What Kablamo brings to Canada

Kablamo has launched a bank, expanded an online mortgage broker's AWS capabilities, and modernised a national broadcaster's archives, content that has been processed or downloaded more than two billion times. That track record in fintech, media, and emergency services is directly transferable to Canadian enterprise clients.

Tobias Dyhrberg, Kablamo's Canada lead, said:

"Canadian firms are looking for similar responses to their needs and challenges. The decision to launch in Canada is testament to the technology industry in Ontario and the strong demand for the kind of AI, cloud-native software development and data management solutions that the team develops."

Local talent, global knowledge

Kablamo will hire locally in Canada while continuing to draw on its Australian engineering team, building a genuinely cross-Pacific delivery capability rather than simply planting a flag.
