Supporting International Opportunities for the Saskatchewan Tech Sector
- Innovation Saskatchewan hosted a webinar (panel discussion and feedback session) for the Saskatchewan tech sector.

The speakers included:
- Reynolds Lauer – Trade Commissioner – Global Affairs Canada

- Andrew Doan – Trade Specialist – Saskatchewan Trade and Export Partnership
- Andrew Wahba (Moderator) – Director – Innovation Saskatchewan
Unicorn on the Prairies
- Sean O'Connor and Gordon Pitts sat down to discuss the #sktech ecosystem. They also discussed Gordon's book, Unicorn in the Woods, which asks whether there can be a place for high-tech innovation and unicorn-like value creation outside of major urban centres, whether in Atlantic Canada, rust-belt New York, or Northern Ontario.
