Thank you to BCTIA Funding Partners
BCIC develops entrepreneurial talent and commercializes technology through startup companies and partnerships between industry and academia. BCIC focuses on competitively positioning British Columbia in today's global knowledge economy in order to provide significant employment opportunities and a high standard of living for British Columbians. In today's economic climate, it is increasingly important for British Columbia to be competitively positioned in the global knowledge economy. BCIC is developing an ecosystem that increases the number and success rate of technology startups in the province to promote economic development and strengthen BC's contribution to the Canadian high tech sector. BCIC does this by developing programs and providing support for initiatives that develop entrepreneurs and promote the commercialization of technology. Situated on three post-secondary campuses and in the City of Burnaby, their buildings are designed to meet the specific and unique requirements of the technology industry, catering especially to small start-up and post-secondary spin-off companies. To support BC's commercialization and technology transfer activities, Discovery Parks Trust both re-invests and distributes its profits to BC's post-secondary institutions, promoting further research and development within our economy. Discovery Parks has invested millions of dollars of equity in its research parks. At the same time, operating profits are distributed to BC's post-secondary institutions, helping to fuel BC's technology economy, with over $12 million having been paid to these institutions to date.
