On this episode, we feature Jeff Shirley of Rivercity Innovations and Mike Stefaniuk with Sasktel's Collaboration and Innovation Team.
It began with the Rural Crime Challenge at Innovation Saskatchewan where Jeff Shirley created a solution to prevent the theft of beehives at their family farm. Later, shifting from GPS trackers to LoRa technology, Rivercity Innovations expanded into designing, building, and delivering sensors and data monitoring solutions to support their world-wide clientele.

On this episode, we explore how the Innovation Program at Sasktel works, how its helping local startups grow and scale beyond the borders of Saskatchewan, and learn about all of the exciting work being done by one of their key players – Rivercity Innovations.
