Episode description
On BIV Today…
It’s been several years since Canada produced a unicorn company. Is the country getting better at scaling technology startups? Charles Plant (1:24), director of the University of Toronto’s Impact Centre, discusses Canada’s narwhals – the companies with the best shot at becoming world-class competitors.
In a word, Jason Turcotte (13:59)– vice-president of development at Cressey Development Group – says Greater Vancouver’s development industry is “frustrated.” He breaks down the challenges facing builders, and how they translate into higher real estate prices.
