Tech Talks with Cathy Simpson

In this episode of TechTalks with Cathy Simpson, we meet Calvino Anderson with Compugen and the founder and event organizer for the Atlantic Tech Summit.  Based in Halifax, we discuss the Atlantic Tech Summit returning for its 4th year.  We spend time talking about the community and how events like these bring the ecosystem partners together both virtually and physically.  Listen in to learn more about how the Summit will provide an action-packed day of sessions from top local and national tech leaders as they discuss digital acceleration and the experience of managing through the challenges of fast-paced change.

We hope you enjoy the show.

Welcome to Episode #36 of TechTalks with Cathy Simpson.

In this episode of TechTalks with Cathy Simpson, we sit down and talk with Patrick Brannon, a Senior Researcher at the Atlantic Provinces Economic Council.  His report titled Responding to the Labour Challenge in Atlantic Canada’s Digital Sector is the second industry deep dive examining the labour skills challenge in the region and is the topic of today’s conversation. Patrick led the 2019 report that TechImpact released on Digital Technology Firms: Their Importance and Role in Atlantic Canada’s Economy.  APEC does great work in the region and this report and conversation is invaluable to our skilling for the digital economy.

We hope you enjoy the show.
