We have one at the NGRAIN office - I know it's PwC's proprietary work, but I would imagine that there are ways to collaborate with them to take advantage of the work they have done in this area. Maybe I'm walking into a nest of sorts, but it's based on my feeling that, to be competitive globally, the BC tech sector will rely heavily on creative collaboration amongst its composite parts.

The team that we assembled, comprised of VFS students and new grads, are displaying incredible professionalism and dedication to the task. Has been really exciting to see this come together and I hope to see it grow in the future..
