Collision is riding the wave of Toronto. Toronto is here already. Toronto had already arrived before we came here. I just don’t think a lot of people elsewhere in the world had seen it with their own eyes. That’s my view. We’re riding the wave. Collision is not going to make the wave bigger. If it shines a spotlight on Toronto, OK, great.
Paddy Cosgrave, Web Summit CEO, speaking to VentureBeat
Toronto’s tech scene is rapidly approaching that of San Francisco and New York. If you’re looking to staff a software development project, you’ll want to give it a look. There’s a lot of talent, opportunity, and innovation right across our northern border.
