A message from Danny Robinson, CEO, BCIC
In March, BCIC launched the beta version of VOTE (vote.bcic.ca) to engage for input and feedback from members of BC’s tech community on the resources and initiatives needed to make BC the best place to start and grow tech companies. Two weeks ago we hosted the first Town Hall and shared with more than 150 members of BC’s tech community BCIC’s renewed vision and strategies, as well as the ten principles that now guide all of our actions.
To the community: We heard you. Please keep the feedback coming! As well, VOTE has been, and will continue to be updated as we gather more feedback from you. Learn more about these changes, BCIC’s decision making process and the role VOTE plays in it.
