Key Points

The digital economy of Canada is growing fast compared to other industries like forestry, mining, and oil and gas. So that the country can keep the digital economy stronger, its federal government must provide the tech industry and the entrepreneurs with the same financial incentives like tax breaks, deferrals, and others that it provides to the sector of natural resources.

An entrepreneur must possess that strong desire to create something fresh and scale it. With that drive, now is the best time to start building on your idea.

The leadership and talent management skills of an entrepreneur are vital to the sustainability and success of the business. Newly recruits must have the same outlook to the vision of the company and work ethic and also contribute using the crucial skills they already have.

Support is much needed by Canadian entrepreneurs in terms of scaling up. We have to be better with helping companies undergo every stage, whether through the services by Regional Innovation Centers, strong angel networks, abundant funding, or university assistance.
