Markham is home to a significant cluster of technology companies including IBM Canada, AMD, Huawei Canada, and hundreds of smaller software, hardware, and services firms.

IT Needs of Technology Companies
- Development infrastructure: Servers, virtualization, containerization (Docker/Kubernetes), and cloud development environments for software teams.
