This video series features short messages from people who will be attending True North, Communitech’s biggest conference, which will be held for the first time from May 29-31, 2018. True North will bring together influencers, policy makers, entrepreneurs, developers, scientists, and game changers for crucial conversations about the future of tech as a force for good. From the impact of artificial intelligence to issues of diversity to the spread of “fake news,” leaders and innovators have become the focus of a conversation that has the potential to reshape our values and beliefs around tech’s role in humanity.
Meet Iain Klugman, President and CEO of Communitech. Communitech was founded in 1997 by a group of entrepreneurs committed to making Waterloo Region a global innovation leader. At the time it was crazy talk, but somehow this community managed to pull it off. Today, Communitech is a public-private innovation hub that supports a community of more than 1,400 companies – from startups to scale-ups to large global players.
We asked Iain: “Why True North? Why now?”
