November 1, 2016

A new report published by TechTO, an organization that supports startup firms in Toronto and explores ways to support and strengthen technology-driven jobs in the GTA combines the findings of The Innovation Policy Lab at the University of Toronto Munk School of Global Affairs, consulting firm PWC and economic data modelling firm Emsi.

The Innovation Policy Lab provided the policy recommendations in the report – with an analysis by Travis Southin, a PhD student in political science, and input from the innovation lab’s co-director, David Wolfe, who is a professor of political science at U of T Mississauga. U of T News spoke with Wolfe about the report and the role of universities and all levels of government in ensuring tech jobs continue to thrive in Toronto.
