Sidekick Interactive is a young and dynamic company which primarily develops mobile applications (native iOS and native Android solutions) for a variety of different clients. We’ve worked on innovative and challenging projects for the City of Montreal, City of Laval, car2go, multiple startups, European clients, and fortune 500 companies. We touch various industries such as medtech, construction, tourism, and more. We primarily do custom work for our clients as well as develop multiple in-house projects.
