Last week I met Yukon Premier and I was invited to discuss Yukon 's innovation. So, I have joined a group of local entrepreneurs with backgrounds such as engineering, software, technology, science, urban planning for nearly two hours, and Ideas about how to develop and develop Yukon's technology and innovation ecosystem We have shared. As a city planner, I am delighted to have the opportunity to discuss and discuss how Canadian new ecosystems are evolving. Emerging technology companies are increasing in many Canadian cities, attracting companies that are funded and supported by venture capital. Whitehorse still has a long way to compete with the southern city, but it should not stay as big as I want to develop innovation / technology. Entrepreneurs who become Yukon are privileged. One of the benefits of living in the north is the ability to work hard and work hard in locations filled with first class outdoor activities.
