Canada has the largest number of AI researchers in the world. The base technologies that enabled the development of AI applications, such as deep learning, machine learning, neural networks and natural language processing, were invented in laboratories at Canadian universities.
The joint action of the Government, universities, large companies, startups, venture capital and Canadian entrepreneurs has sought to prepare Canada to compete for global leadership in R&D for companies, startups and professionals.
Furthermore, the Canadian Government opens the doors to immigrants interested in entrepreneurship in the country with technology and directs considerable resources to support development.
The openness to immigration and the encouragement of global entrepreneurship is another differentiator of this promising land: the country offers one of the most coveted visas at the moment – the Startup Visa. The program, which provides permanent residency, is aimed at foreign entrepreneurs who intend to move and establish their own businesses in Canada, attracting innovation and job creation in the country.
Of the six startups participating in the latest Dream2B program (Batch #4 in October/2018), five were invited to apply for the Startup Visa through a partnership with the Spark Center – an institution designated by the Canadian government.
