SaskTech is an organization that represents the interests of Saskatchewan technology companies with the intention of making SK a key tech centre in Canada.

It happened. Good conversations and some really interesting proposals for next steps. Great ecosystem community.

Tomorrow is the @thinkSaskTech Stakeholder meeting where a unique collection of industry, government, and education folk collect to discuss how to address the most complex labour challenges in our sector. It’s an amazing event that can happen only in #Saskatchewan. #sktech



This is tomorrow! Check your emails if you're a #sktech employer, you've likely got an invitation.

On Wednesday, May 18th, @skgov Immigration & Career Training will be doing special webinars on the new Tech Talent Pathway. This is for employers, not applicants. If you'd like more information, including Zoom links, please DM me! #sktech



The @skgov really wants to help #sktech employers understand how to access this novel method of getting employees into the country and on a rapid PR path. Please consider DM'ing Aaron for more information.

Academic incubators are an important part of an innovation ecosystem. We're thrilled to see @usask and @USaskInnovates invest in building one. Properly done, they can be an enormous economic and innovation engine for the community. #sktech

DYK: @USaskInnovates is launching a new startup incubator at @usask! Opus is a pre-accelerator program designed for the unique needs of #USask founders. Pilot program starts June 2022. Details at opus.usask.ca. #USaskResearch #deeptech #innovation #OpusUSask



Ah yes, the AGM was today. Nobody complained about anything and we ended early so I guess we’re doing an okay job.

Kudos to @AaronGenest and the entire @thinkSaskTech board for the high-impact work they are doing in the #sktech ecosystem! 2 of many focus areas for Sask Tech: 💥 The LT focus on K-12 CS education 💥 The ST challenges of talent 👏👏

At 7:40, I'll be talking to @SLangeneggerCBC broadcasting to the rest of the province. According to @govsk and @StatCan_eng, 5 of 11 tech job categories in #sask have more than doubled in demand since 2016. Find out which ones! #sktech

Ooooo! I get to talk immigration & the tech sector with @LeishaCBC tomorrow morning at 7:10 on @CBCSaskatoon. Tune in and hear me talk about how tech job openings have increased as much as 352% over the last 6 years! #sktech


Huge shout-out to @immigratebiz for helping us understand how we can better access talent and what new immigrants to Canada are looking for in immigration programs. Without Dirk Propp, this program would not exist. #sktech

This is big. The @SKGov just announced a special immigration stream for tech workers. This is a unique program, with support from @CitImmCanada, that sidesteps the points system and fast tracks PR. It's a massive step forward for #sktech talent recruitment saskatchewan.ca/tech-applicants

#agtech in Saskatchewan is full steam ahead! What about energy?

Saskatchewan is set up extremely well to be an #agtech powerhouse, aligning entrepreneurs, applied and theoretical R&D, incubation infrastructure, and now capital thanks to Emmertech. But we need to do this for energy as well. 🧵



Unfortunately, due to the rise of Omicron and continuing cases, we are postponing this event. Please stay tuned for more information!

The @UofRegina will be holding a technology job fair on Feb 3 at @innovationplace #yqr. If you're looking to hire new graduates from the U of R's excellent CS & Engineering programs, please consider signing up and/or sponsoring the event! events.eply.com/DigitalFutures…

Ridiculously long manifesto for #sktech. If you can keep your eyes open, we’d love to know what you think.

I get asked all the time: “What does Saskatchewan need to do to become an innovation powerhouse?” Here’s my answer & it should matter to _everyone_ because like every job changed thanks to the industrial revolution, so will every job thanks to the digital revolution. #sktech



Applied R&D facilities are a critical part of the innovation ecosystem. DICE is highly successful in its mission and supports companies here in Sask and across Canada. Great to see how much they’ve grown! #sktech
