#StartupChats – Canadian Content in a Digital World

Canada is as rich in creativity as it is diversity. Each province and territory holds unique and natural landscapes that inspire those living in them. As people join from all over the world to live across this expansive nation, inspiration is sought and turned into what we read in books and magazines, listen to at work or on the bus, and see as we scroll through our phones. As Canada becomes increasingly connected, creativity must be at the forefront.
What is the future of creative Canadian content? How do creative entrepreneurs stay relevant in a rapidly changing digital landscape? What is the role of creativity, entrepreneurship and innovation in Canadian culture?
