From January 11–14, the global tech community will digitally descend on the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2021—the world’s most influential tech event. Ontario, Canada, is an IT hotspot where bold ideas live. At CES 2021, 25 companies from Ontario will be front and centre, showcasing what the province offers—both as a location for global expansion and a one-stop source for high-quality, advanced technologies and services at very competitive prices. Ontario is home to a vast network of innovative tech firms—23,000, in fact—powered by a highly-skilled workforce, 300,000+ strong. A mosaic of Ontario firms revolutionizing the global tech industry will be on display during CES 2021: AI products, services and platforms—Applied Brain Research, contextere, iNAGO, Markitech, Private AI and SageTea Robotics and Autonomous Robots—CrossWing, Roboeatz, Signifi Solutions and VTRAC Robotics Corporation Interactive and virtual commerce and video solutions—MEGA InTech Inc., RIWI, SSIMWAVE and TMT LAB Fitness, gaming and smart home—Aviron Interactive, Brink Bionics and SWiDGET Personal safety and operations security and infrastructure—Alcohol Countermeasure Systems, Docsie, Escrypt, Geogram and Virgil Systems Quantum software and hardware—Xanadu Design/development of electronics, electro-mechanics and software—Syntronic Research and Development Canada Inc. From top to bottom, there is a long corridor of tech excellence in Ontario. The number one reason? We have 44 colleges and universities producing nearly 55,000 STEM graduates annually, providing a constant supply of talent to companies across the entire tech spectrum. In addition to our homegrown best and brightest, we want more of the world’s top talent and innovative entrepreneurs to consider Ontario. Canada’s friendly, high-speed immigration programs can help to make this a reality. Layer on our globally-competitive corporate tax rates, attractive savings on after-tax R&D expenditures and our inclusive, connected and vibrant community culture, and it’s clear to see there’s never been a better time to think Ontario.
