Let’s talk diversity – Parlons diversité

07/23/2021 | Read more… | En savoir plus…

In STEM fields, there’s a lot of talk about how we need to attract more women, Aboriginal people, immigrants, and other minorities. Diversity is on the radar of employers, educators, and government. And yet, change is slow. Under-representation continues to be a significant challenge.

Dans les domaines des STIM, on parle beaucoup du besoin d’attirer plus de femmes, d’Autochtones, d’immigrants et de représentants d’autres minorités. Mais, même si la diversité figure à l’écran radar des employeurs, des éducateurs et du gouvernement, le changement est lent. La sous-représentation est toujours un problème d’envergure.

Our Biggest Program Ever

04/16/2021 | Read More…

TechImpact is thinking–and acting–BIG in every sense. Our focus has never been clearer.  We are an action-based organization advancing the use of technology, enabling a digital economy, and growing our technology industry. Our members are leaders in our business, academic, and technology communities. The APEC-led research we released in October 2019 was a roadmap, and COVID was an accelerant on this journey.

In this newsletter, you'll learn about Digital Boost 2.0, one of our biggest ideas ever. This $3.7M new program is driving digital transformation that is key to our economic recovery and growth. It's going to be an exciting 2021 with big impacts.

Equality, Diversity, and Belonging

03/10/2021 | Read More…

Let's Challenge All Kinds of Inequality - We should celebrate women's accomplishments 365 days a year, but then again, I'm a bit biased.  As we celebrate International Women's Day and reflect on this year's theme of  #Choose to Challenge, I hope it gets you thinking about how you can make a difference in equality. 

The Future is Digital

02/19/2021 | Read More…

Digital transformation isn’t just for the tech sector. For our region to prosper, non-tech companies need to go down that path, too. There are lots of companies here to help. That’s why I’m so excited about Digital Boost, a program pairing N.B. tech providers with local companies that need technology and advice. TechImpact is the Digital Boost program manager, financially sponsored by ACOA and GNB. Today, there are 26 projects underway on ERP upgrades, cloud migrations, e-commerce implementations and more. In the weeks ahead, we'll be showcasing some early Digital Boost success stories.

Statement on the APEC Digital Technology Report

09/18/2019 | Read More…

The APEC report released on September 17th underlines the growing importance of digital technology to Atlantic Canada's economy. It has also shown us the tremendous potential the tech industry offers to our region and our local economy, so it's important we make it a priority. We have ambitious, innovative companies here, both small and large, doing great work and offering fantastic opportunities. That's why we must focus on growing the labour market for the industry here, both by encouraging youth to explore tech careers and by attracting skilled workers to fill the current shortages. We are thrilled to share this data with everyone and to explore new ways to build on what’s working well and to overcome challenges that take many hands to eliminate so we can continue to grow our economy.
