Via BCTIA's opportunities section, the Consulate General of Canada, San Francisco is inviting companies to the first Plug and Play Tech Centre Workshop at their Sunnyvale campus in Silicon Valley on October 20th. Plug and Play is a successful high-tech incubator in the heart of Silicon Valley where over 150 technology start-ups from over 20 countries work closely together to build innovative companies.

The focus of the workshop will be to exchange best practices between top technology centres and incubators from around the world and explore opportunities for collaboration. It may also provide an opportunity for start-up companies to meet with potential partners and investors. Plug and Play’s ultimate goal is to help 1,000 start-ups from around the world secure funding and go from idea to reality in the coming years.

If you're interested, let The Consulate General know at your earliest convenience as they are providing financial support to selected Canadian start-up companies attending this workshop.
