It happened. Good conversations and some really interesting proposals for next steps. Great ecosystem community.
Tomorrow is the @thinkSaskTech Stakeholder meeting where a unique collection of industry, government, and education folk collect to discuss how to address the most complex labour challenges in our sector. It’s an amazing event that can happen only in #Saskatchewan. #sktech

Academic incubators are an important part of an innovation ecosystem. We're thrilled to see @usask and @USaskInnovates invest in building one. Properly done, they can be an enormous economic and innovation engine for the community. #sktech
DYK: @USaskInnovates is launching a new startup incubator at @usask! Opus is a pre-accelerator program designed for the unique needs of #USask founders. Pilot program starts June 2022. Details at https://t.co/xoLQXObJBI.

Ah yes, the AGM was today. Nobody complained about anything and we ended early so I guess we’re doing an okay job.
Kudos to @AaronGenest and the entire @thinkSaskTech board for the high-impact work they are doing in the #sktech ecosystem! 2 of many focus areas for Sask Tech: 💥 The LT focus on K-12 CS education 💥 The ST challenges of talent 👏👏

Huge shout-out to @immigratebiz for helping us understand how we can better access talent and what new immigrants to Canada are looking for in immigration programs. Without Dirk Propp, this program would not exist. #sktech
This is big. The @SKGov just announced a special immigration stream for tech workers. This is a unique program, with support from @CitImmCanada, that sidesteps the points system and fast tracks PR. It's a massive step forward for #sktech talent recruitment

#agtech in Saskatchewan is full steam ahead! What about energy?
Saskatchewan is set up extremely well to be an #agtech powerhouse, aligning entrepreneurs, applied and theoretical R&D, incubation infrastructure, and now capital thanks to Emmertech. But we need to do this for energy as well. 🧵 https://t.co/z7zflufHQa

Ridiculously long manifesto for #sktech. If you can keep your eyes open, we’d love to know what you think.
I get asked all the time: “What does Saskatchewan need to do to become an innovation powerhouse?” Here’s my answer & it should matter to _everyone_ because like every job changed thanks to the industrial revolution, so will every job thanks to the digital revolution. #sktech

Applied R&D facilities are a critical part of the innovation ecosystem. DICE is highly successful in its mission and supports companies here in Sask and across Canada. Great to see how much they’ve grown! #sktech
