Technology Incubator and Partners Best Practices Workshop

The Consulate General of Canada, San Francisco is inviting companies to the first Plug and Play Tech Centre Workshop at their Sunnyvale campus in Silicon Valley. Plug and Play is a successful high-tech incubator in the heart of Silicon Valley where over 150 technology start-ups from over 20 countries work closely together to build innovative companies.

The focus of the workshop will be to exchange best practices between top technology centres and incubators from around the world and explore opportunities for collaboration. It may also provide an opportunity for start-up companies to meet with potential partners and investors. Plug and Play’s ultimate goal is to help 1,000 start-ups from around the world secure funding and go from idea to reality in the coming years.

Please let The Consulate General  know at your earliest convenience of your interest in this activity, as they would be able to provide financial support to selected Canadian start-up companies attending this workshop.
