OTTAWA—Canadian tech entrepreneurs see encouraging signs working with the government to build a more innovative economy. But more work needs to be done, including better understanding the trickle-down effects of wealth creation by today's tech entrepreneurs. A lively panel discussion dubbed "Canada's Time—Building a Global Tech Hub North of 49" hosted by the Carleton Initiative for Parliamentary and Diplomatic Engagement at Shopify 's Elgin Street Office in Ottawa on May 15 also highlighted that perceptions about entrepreneurs need to change. Shopify is the darling of Canada's tech scene—charting new waters beyond the wreckages of Nortel and Blackberry. Since its IPO on May 21, 2015 at a stock price of US$17, the company is now worth over $10 billion. Harley Finkelstein, Shopify's chief operating officer, is proud that the company is achieving all they have from Ottawa.
