This episode is a compilation of clips from speakers at the UP Conference talking about why secondary markets are becoming some of the hottest tech hubs in North America.
At Startupville, we reject the notion that the next big thing can only come from Silicon Valley. Secondary markets like the Canadian prairies, the Colorado Rockies, and many more have exploded into vibrant tech hubs in recent years. Startups and investors have started to notice the benefits that smaller centres present, like lower operation costs, high employee retention, and diverse ideas outside the bubble of Silicon Valley hype cycles. At UP Conference, there was no ignoring the energy of the Canadian prairie tech region.
Uniting the Prairies, or UP, is a new conference in Saskatoon brings together the top prairie Canada startups, VCs and angels, prairie expats, and tech leaders to come together and share knowledge and experience with startups, elevating the prairie tech community.
