​Canada's chapter of Global Tech Advocates

​Good tech is happening in Canada. This is where we start talking about it.

​Tech Canada Advocates is a Canadian-rooted, globally connected community for the founders, investors, policy makers, and corporate leaders building technology that creates real value for people, communities, and the planet, and, as it turns out, good for returns too.

​We support Canadian companies expanding abroad, international companies establishing roots here, and everyone in between working toward the same outcome: technology that actually helps.

​What to expect

• ​Fireside chat with Russ Shaw, founder of Global Tech Advocates, on where Canadian tech stands on the world stage
