The network of incubators, accelerators, government programs and local investors help make Vancouver a fertile ground for startup success. It is an enticing and optimistic location to launch a startup, which is proven by the fact that the tech giants Facebook and Amazon are both setting up shop in the city this year. With so much creative talent and support to grow, we are excited to see what submission come out of Vancouver.

The Honourable Tony Clement, President of the Treasury Board, along with Ray Sharma of XMG Studio Inc., continue their nation-wide tour to promote CODE 2015. The fourth and final stop will take place in Vancouver on February 11th.

Everyone is invited to take part in the discussion on how open data can help solve problems and start businesses. Speak with Minister Clement, Ray Sharma and past and future participants.

The Vancouver stop is organized in partnership with OpenDataBC and the BCTIA Innovation HUB. OpenDataBC is a collaborative effort by a group of B.C. citizens with the vision of providing easier access to information so that citizens may better understand their province. The BCTIA Innovation Hub is a 26,000 square foot open collaboration space dedicated to helping tech companies grow. The Hub is designed to support early- and growth-stage companies by providing access to expert coaches and mentors, professional services, resources, investors, partners, customers, government agencies and more.
