Technology Sector: Toronto and Tech

technology sector: Toronto is a global technology powerhouse, according to NOW Magazine. Toronto has created more jobs in tech in the last year than New York City and San Francisco's Silicon Valley combined. Toronto is having a special moment. These are phrases familiar to anyone in this city's technology sector, which came together for a massive celebration and marketing bonanza at the recent Elevate Tech Fest, billed by organizers as Canada's Tech Week. But as excited industry types in hoodies and suits took selfies and exchanged Linked In profiles, I couldn't help but think about some of the other ways Toronto is having a special moment. The event, which featured the theatre of a choreographed stock market countdown, provided a space for the tech sector to demonstrate its contributions to the city. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
