Yesterday the Kootenay Association for Science and Technology (KAST) released a report on the technology sector in the Kootenays. Revelstoke and Golden are included in the report.
Working with Selkirk College, the Kootenay Technology Sector Assessment 2020 is the first report of its kind in the region.
By assessing the Kootenay tech sector’s business climate, the report gives an overview of the local workforce.
Advanced manufacturing, clean-tech, and cannabis are especially promising industries according to the report.
“The goal of this project is to ultimately understand the economic impact of our regional tech sector, attract new talent, strengthen our current workforce and inform policy and decision-makers,” said KAST Executive Director, Sean Smillie.
The full report is available on the KAST official website.
