ACE is a committee that has been created to foster an environment and culture in which technology companies can be grown and remain in Canada. Join this collaborative call to provide your input on this important initiative and/or to become an active member of the committee.

Participants on this call will have the opportunity to put forward ideas for ways in which ACE can promote entrepreneurship in the technology industry as a viable and important component of Canada’s future economic ecosystem.
