Today marks the 10th 🦄 in Vancouver - born and bred in 31-months!
Not sure about Toronto, Montreal or the rest of 🇨🇦. They don’t seem to have a @notionport in those cities. 😎
🦄 BC's latest unicorn: Construction tech co. @NexiiBuilds closed its 6th funding round, an infusion of capital that values the 31-month-old firm at $1.55B.

“More people now work in technology in BC than forestry, mining, oil and gas combined” Pierre Cleroux, BDC Chief Economist
Traditionally BC has been a heavy resource extraction province but is evolving rapidly into a technological powerhouse

I love how Vancouver has been embracing technologies like AR/VR and NFTs to push the boundaries of public spaces with these incredible art installations! @Van_Biennale Kevin Navia, Art by Jessica Angel

Interesting, if they would look at @launchacademyhq @raywalia’s track record of incubating over 6000 entrepreneurs, creating over 4000 jobs, collectively raising $1.2 Billion in funding and being a foundation to BC’s tech ecosystem they would have a different opinion 🤷🏻
This is as scathing an indictment of publicly funded accelerators and incubators as you can get from a Canadian government official. Great story by @clabrow with an assist by @muradhem. thelogic.co/news/innovation-…

@redthreads8 I’m still so amazed and humbled and completely honored to have my scene included in @DigiBC’s reel mostly because my work represents a unique style of #vr painting created entirely in #tiltbrush (It’s the last scene at the end). Thank you to @locdao and @ColleenArndt
Vancouver is one of the 3 top VFX Animation hubs in the World. @DigiBC 2021 sums it up nicely 2.6B, 12,000 people in creative, digital technology.
Great highlight reel

This is great, I'd love to see this type of collaboration and commitment to form a major frontier tech innovation hub... something that Vancouver would value greatly from. This news shows that this type of engagement/investment from government and industry is possible.
The Government of BC, Government of Canada and @Shell Canada are committing a total $105M in funding toward the new BC Centre for Innovation and Clean Energy, which has been announced to launch this fall ⬇

I finally got my @varjodotcom #XR3 #ar #mr hmd and it is incredible. If you want to see what the future of #AR can be today this is the device to try. Passthru AR so high resolution and with so low latency it really does feel right. The future of #spatialcomputing is incredible
