Tech Sector: Talent and San Francisco

tech sector: On offer is a rapidly growing tech sector in places like Toronto and Kitchener-Waterloo with companies that require executive-level expertise to compete with Silicon Valley rivals, according to National Observer. Canada has also invested millions to attract top talent and researchers away from other countries. He knows he faces international competition for top talent, including the established tech ecosystem in Silicon Valley. ; Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will make a pitch to that talent on behalf of prospective employers like Zifkin during his discussions today in San Francisco, including face-to-face meetings with the head of Amazon and eBay. Rana Sankar, Canada's consul general in San Francisco, says the goal of Trudeau's visit isn't to lure talent away from the region, but ensure that Canada has a voice in what has become the epicentre of the new economy. We are here to co-create with the tech sector here. We are here not to steal jobs from Silicon Valley, Sankar said in an interview this week. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
