Building the conditions for Canadian technology companies to grow.
Contributed to the industry table’s work on Canada’s digital economy and competitiveness.
I served on Canada’s Digital Industries Economic Strategy Table, chaired by Tobias Lütke. The table brought industry leaders together to identify the conditions that would help Canadian digital businesses grow and compete internationally.
The work sat alongside my own interest in understanding Canada’s AI ecosystem: its talent, research capacity, companies and links between them. Mapping that ecosystem was one way to make the discussion more concrete.
